Windows 10: Night light not working

Alright, so I am trying to turn on the night light on in my Lenovo Yoga laptop. It is 3 pm where I am located. I have turn off automatic brightness, switch to on night light, went to night light settings, set the hours to 2pm-7am and click turn on now button. Then, turned on night light, it stays in this mode but the moment I click on a window in this case google chrome window, which has a white display the night light would deactivate. When I say deactivate, I mean that the screen goes back to normal, but the on toggle would remain in on. I have done all of the debugging steps suggested in the help window, but non of them have help. Currently, I am about the re install graphics drivers hopefully that works. Also, I need to mentions that my laptop's screen flickers slightly. it is not bothersome at first sight, but if you are trying to some heavy reading, you would notice the the screen slightly changes color.

Hope this is enough information and you can help me find a solution; likewise, if i find one, I would keep you posted.


Thanks to everyone.

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.
