How to enable Night light on Windows 11

On Windows 11, “Night light” is a feature that helps you fall asleep more naturally and reduces eye strain when working long hours at night in front of your laptop or desktop.

Night light works by minimizing the amount of blue light emitted by the display (which mimics the light you receive naturally during the day), and it shows warmer colors to make it easier to fall asleep and reduce the chances of eye strain when using the computer late at night.

In this guide, you will learn the steps to enable the Night light feature on your laptop or desktop running Windows 11.
