  1. Windows 10: Night light toggled on anytime a Microsoft application is launched.


    Currently, I have the Night light feature turned off. The schedule is also set to the "Off" position. Whenever I launch a Microsoft application such as Notepad, Word, Excel, Outlook etc., the Night light feature engages. This can be fixed by:


    1. Closing the application.

    2. Opening "Night light settings" and toggling the "Turn on now" button.


    Some notes about option 2:


    When opening "Night light settings", the setting will still show the feature as "off" with the "Turn on now" button. Clicking this button the turn it on actually turns it off.


    If option 2 is used and the system locks the screen, returning to the desktop will engage the Night light again necessitating the toggle to be flipped.


    No other applications cause this issue.

    :)

  3. No Night Light

    Hi allisonb1

    Try these steps

    Option 1. Reset Night Light-related Settings on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    If you find the night light in the Action Center or the Settings is greyed out after the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, you can fix it with the steps below:

    Step 1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + i to open Settings.

    Step 2. Go to the Privacy menu.

    Step 3. On the left side, choose the Location tab.

    Step 4. Click the Change button under the Location for this device.

    Step 5. Toggle the switch under the Location for this device to ON.

    Step 6. Toggle the switch under the Location service to ON.

    Step 7. Restart the computer.

    Now check the Action Center or the Settings on your Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to see if the night light feature is available.

    Option 2 . Modify Registry to Fix Night Light Not Working on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    If the methods above didn't work, you may need to modify the registry to fix the greyed-out night light button or the night light not working issue. Note: Windows Registry is a vital database on Windows OS computer. Any misoperation will cause server system
    problems, such as 100% disk usage issue, blue screen issue, endless reboot, etc. So it's important to backup registry before the changes.

    Now let's kill the night light not working and release the pain:

    Step 1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to launch Run.

    Step 2. Type into regedit.

    Step 3. Hit the Enter key.

    Step 4. Copy and paste the path into the address bar of the Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache\DefaultAccount

    Step 5. Press the Enter key.

    Step 6. Right-click the key $$windows.data.bluelightreduction.bluelightreductionstate under the DefaultAccount and select the Delete to remove it.

    Step 7. Right-click the key $$windows.data.bluelightreduction.settings and select the Delete.

    Step 8. Restart the computer.

    Then you can go to the Action Center or the Windows Settings. The night light not working issue has been resolved now and the night light button is available.
