As mentioned above, Night light in Windows can resolve some eye issues by changing the colors displayed on your screen into warmer versions that are easier on your eyes.

You can schedule the Night light in Windows to turn on or off automatically, and the steps below show you how to do that.

Windows 11 has a centralized location for the majority of its settings. As a result, everything can be done, from system configurations to creating new users and updating Windows from its System Settings pane.

Alternatively, you can use the search box on the taskbar and search for Settings. Then select to open it.

Windows Settings pane should look similar to the image below. On the Windows Settings app, click the System on the left, then select the Display tile on the right pane, as highlighted in the image below.

On the System > Display settings pane, under Brightness & color, select the Night light tile to expand.

Under the Night light, toggle the Schedule night light tile switch button to turn on the schedule.

Under Schedule night light, you can choose Sunset to sunrise or Set hours for when you want the night light to turn on and off automatically.

Sunset to sunrise requires Location services to be turned on.

If you set hours, you can choose when the Night light comes on and goes off.

That should do it! You can now close the Windows settings app.
