    Why will my night light not turn off despite my going into the settings and turning it off?


    I was in the middle of a game when my computer visuals switched to the night light. I rarely ever use it and do not have it set to automatically turn on. Nothing I have tried has succeeded in turning it off.

    Cannot stop Night Light from turning on despite settings

    Hi - My Windows 10 Acer laptop insists on turning on Night Light during certain evening hours. On my Night Light settings I have "Schedule" set to OFF. However in the evening my screen is obviously missing blue (even confirmed this with a calibration meter). If I go to the tile and turn off Night Light, the screen brightness and I can see it turned it off, and then a few seconds later the Night Light turns right back on! I have repeated this many times and it only turns off for a few seconds - if in these evening hours. Even if I click the Turn On/Off Now button in the settings, it will turn off and then a few seconds later turn right back on.

    The only way so far I have been able to get it to go off in the evening hours is to change my system time so that the computer thinks it is daytime. Then the Night Light turns off on its own and stays off. For instance at 10pm I tell it to manually let me change the time and set it to 12pm and then the night light goes off and stays off. Until the "evening" hours come along and it turns right back on.

    I am really confused as to where it is getting this bedtime schedule from, and why it insists on following the schedule. Perhaps there are settings other than the Windows settings or perhaps there is some other app installed that is doing this? It is one of my kids laptops that I took over, so maybe the installed some program. I do know that Windows pesters me with messages like "Time to get to bed" and "You only have 5 hours before you have to wake up" type of messages. Can someone please let me know how to turn those off too?

    In case it matters this is an Acer laptop with an Intel HD Graphics 4600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M internal cards. I checked through the Nvidia Experience app and there are no settings related to sleep or night light.

    Thank you!

    Night light won't turn off.

    Hello,

    Ever since I turned my night light on around two months ago, the night light for my thinkpad computer turns off randomly. When I go to the settings and hit "turn off night light" nothing changes. It hurts my eyes during the daytime and I really don't know
    how to turn it off.

    Thanks

    Night Light won't turn off

    I'm not the sharpest pencil in the group, and you will see why I say that. Recently I had Night Light for my laptop, and it worked well. Then I started working at night, and needed the screen to be normal again. I tried everything to turn it off to no
    avail. I tried Display, turn off Night Light, restarting the computer, going into Regedit deleting subkey settings for the blue light, then I tried uninstalling the drivers. None of those worked. Then I realized after weeks of trying to figure it out, my
    computer had an app called F.Lux, and that is what I turned on months ago, and I forgot about it. I found F.Lux, and disabled it, PC has been running fine since. Just a suggestion, maybe some app was turned on and forgotten?
