Research direction

Start by reproducing the Power Display behavior on Windows with PowerToys 0.100.0, recording the display brightness before opening and after intentionally closing the utility. Trace the Power Display close behavior and brightness handling; done means the intended default brightness reset behavior is clearly defined and verified after closing.
