Windows 10: How to force Night Light in every fullscreen game?

When gaming at night I prefer to have Night Light enabled, to make the screen a little more orange so that the blue light won't mess with my melatonin levels. This is pretty well documented - there are many studies confirming that this does have an effect on sleep quality, and I have noticed it too personally.

I used to be able to enable Night Light in Win10 and the setting would carry over to whatever fullscreen game I was playing, but since the last update it will often disable night light whenever a fullscreen game starts. I don't like this, because I prefer to play games with Night Light enabled.

Some goes DO work: Red Dead Redemption 2, Anno 1800, Skyrim - these all are playable fullscreen with Night Light enabled. But other games like CSGO, Dying Light - these ALWAYS reset the Night Light setting, and I really want to play them with my Night Light setting in fullscreen.

I already tried playing Borderless Windowed mode, but then GSync will start stuttering for some reason, and the gameplay experience gets significantly worse, so I really prefer to keep it in fullscreen mode.

How can I force Night Light to work on those games while still remaining in fullscreen mode?

game dvr vs night light

Hey all,

Here's the issue

- I always played the witcher 3 in fullscreen with night light enabled and working.- yesterday, I tried with activating game DVR - tho' w/o success as I had the HDD where it saves locked - and suddenly night light stopped working and i experienced tearing.-
I disabled game DVR, restarted, installed new drivers.. The game is no more night light compatible. Same happened to another game.

To use night light I have to borderless fullscreen but in games like the witcher I prefer full performance.

How can I restore everything back?

Thanks

Night Light keeps breaking

I set Night light to switch on at sunset, and it does, but if I'm in a fullscreen game, after closing or alt-tabbing, night light turns off.
