This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off night light for your account in Windows 11.
Your display emits blue light—the kind of light you see during the day—which can keep you up at night. To help you get to sleep, turn on the night light and your display will show warmer colors at night that are easier on your eyes.
The night light strength level is for the color temperature in Kelvin. You can set a strength level between 0 (6500K) to 100 (1200K) for whatever is comfortable to your eyes.
You can turn on Schedule night light. Then, either select Sunset to sunrise, or select Set hours and enter custom times for the night light to automatically turn on and off.
Night light isn't available if your device uses certain drivers (DisplayLink or Basic Display).
Night Light settings are stored in the registry keys below for the current user.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\DefaultAccount\Current\default$windows.data.bluelightreduction.bluelightreductionstate
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\DefaultAccount\Current\default$windows.data.bluelightreduction.settings
The Night Light feature requires the Connected Devices Platform Service to be enabled, running, and set to automatic.
