If you’re someone who spends a lot of time on your computer, especially at night, you may have experienced eye strain or difficulty falling asleep due to the bright blue light emitted from your screen. Fortunately, Windows 11 has a built-in feature called “Night Light” that can help reduce the amount of blue light emitted from your screen. In this article, we’ll show you how to enable Night Light on Windows 11.
What is Night Light?
Before we dive into how to enable Night Light, let’s first understand what it is. Night Light is a feature on Windows 11 that reduces the amount of blue light emitted from your screen, making it easier on your eyes and potentially helping you sleep better at night. It works by shifting the color temperature of your screen to warmer, more yellow tones.

Troubleshooting Night Light on Windows 11
If you encounter any issues with Night Light not working on Windows 11, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date. Night Light was introduced in the Windows 10 Creators Update, so if you’re using an older version of Windows, you may need to update.
