I have simple script to turn down the brightness of my MacBook Pro via an AppleScript. This worked fine in BigSur, but has stopped working after I upgraded to Monterey 12.0.1.
The script is as follows:
tell application "System Preferences"
reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" to tell window "Built-in Retina Display"
set value of value indicator 1 of slider 1 of tab group 1 to 0.0
end tell
..error is as follows in script editor:
error "System Events got an error: Can’t set window \"Built-in Retina Display\" of process \"System Preferences\" to 0.0." number -10006 from window "Built-in Retina Display" of process "System Preferences"
Any suggestions on what to modify to get it working again?
