How to schedule Night light in Windows 11

Open Settings > System > Display > Night light, turn it on and set a schedule, either fixed hours or sunset to sunrise. The strength slider makes it more or less amber.

How to do it

  1. Open Settings > System > Display.

  2. Open Night light.

  3. Turn it on and set a schedule, either fixed hours or sunset to sunrise.

  4. Move the strength slider. More strength is more amber.

The quick settings tile toggles it immediately. The schedule is what makes it happen when you forget.
