What is a Surface Light Sensor Windows Driver?
A Surface Light Sensor Windows Driver is a software component that enables communication between the operating system (Windows) and a light sensor hardware typically found in certain devices, especially Surface tablets and laptops (like the Microsoft Surface series). These sensors are used to detect the ambient light in your environment and adjust the screen brightness accordingly.
In simpler terms, the light sensor helps the device adjust its screen brightness based on the surrounding lighting conditions. This can save battery life by dimming the display in low-light environments, or it can brighten the screen in well-lit conditions, providing better visibility. The driver ensures that this process works smoothly and automatically.
