Night Light or blue light filter isn't turning on in Windows
Night Light is a software setting that's sometimes turned off by Windows updates or disabled if your graphics driver doesn't support it. Go to Settings → System → Display, turn on the Night Light toggle, and set a schedule.
Night Light reduces blue light on your screen in the evening to help you sleep better. It's a software feature that can be disabled in your display settings or blocked by an older graphics driver. We'll turn it on in settings first, then update the driver if needed.
- ✓Check if Night Light is toggled on in Display settings
- ✓Note whether you see a message saying Night Light is not available
- ✓Check if a schedule is set for Night Light

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Turning on Night Light once but forgetting to set a schedule — it won't stay on automatically without one
- Setting the strength too low and then thinking it's broken — increasing the strength makes it more noticeable
- Assuming Night Light is broken when it just got turned off by a Windows update
Signs you need professional help
- After updating the driver, Night Light still shows as not available. There can be a compatibility issue with your graphics card. Give us a call.
