Windows 10 Night Light

Windows 10 "Creators Update" has introduced a new feature, night light. Blue light in the evening can be detrimental to our sleep patterns and Night Light’s purpose is to lessen, if not eliminate, this problem. It accomplishes this by minimizing the amount of blue light emanating from your computer monitor and increasing the amount of “yellow” light. It is definitely noticeable.

Accessing this Night Light feature in Windows 10 is easy as pie. To do so, follow the following:

1. Use the Windows Key + I hotkey to open the Settings App
2. In the Settings App, choose System, then Display
3. Right up top, the new Night Light feature is available. You can choose to Enable or Disable it with a left-click of the mouse button.

If you would like more granularity (that’s nouveau fancy speak for getting more precise control), click the Night light settings link. It should bring you here:

You now have several choices at your disposal: Do you want it to be a deeper shade of yellow, or less? Do you want to let Windows determine when the sun rises and sets in your neighborhood? Or do you want to set your own hours regardless of when the sun shines?

Note: If you decide to let Windows manage the schedule according to your local sunrise/sunset times, you must enable the Location Service in the Privacy Settings portion of the Settings App.
