Adjust blue light filter (Night Light) in Windows 11

In Windows 11, just like in Windows 10, you can enable or disable the Night Light function and then configure it.

Night light is basically a “blue light filter” that causes your display to use warmer colors at night to reduce eye strain. By reducing the blue light from your screen you prevent poor sleep.

Your screen colors look more like the sun, more orange and yellow tones. The blue tones are filtered out. Not only does the Night Light function help you sleep better, but it also helps to rest your eyes if you work a lot on the computer outside of sleeping hours.
