About this guide

Night light makes the screen warmer and less blue in the evening. Many people find it easier on the eyes in a dark room.

Good to know

The quick way: click the network, sound and battery icons at the right end of the taskbar and use the Night light button.

Turn Night light off when you edit photos or video, because it changes how colours look.

In short: Settings, System, Display, Night light. Add a schedule so it turns on by itself.
