Low Birightness after restart KDE (desktop)

Since some days, my screen has been very dark after restarting my desktop PC.
I have to change the brightness manually on the screen.

I think KDE or the System changes brightness at startup.

Where can I set up the brightness on KDE?

Here some system informations:

I use LTS Kenel 6.6.16.

Hi @mepi0011,

As far as I have it, screen brightness is controlled by the D.E. In Plasma it’s part of the Power Management. (Yes, even on my Desktop.)

So hope this helps!
