    How to have Night Lite on whenever the machine is on


    Windows 10 ver 18363 720

    My optometrist recommends I keep my Night Lite on all the time. As it turns out, I like the looks of it that way. I have tried to set it up to do just that by by using Settings/Display/Night Lite /Turn on now. Schedule is OFF. It stays on until I reboot and then it is off.

    Is there a way to turn it on whenever I turn the machine on no matter the time of day?

    Thank you.

    Forget trying to use Night light and convincing it to remain on. The way to permanently adjust the colour balence of your display is to use Display calibration.

    Calibrate Display Color in Windows 10

    At Step 12 in the tutorial you can turn down the blue and green levels to give a warmer look, just as Night light does, except that this is a permanent setting.

    I agree with Bree. That suggestion will give you a firm result.

    I used to be able to turn night light on or off at will / at reboot using a batch file but Windows changed a few Versions ago and I have not been able to find any new procedure that works with current Versions despite a lot of experimentation & a lot of online searching. So I think Bree's suggestion is the only reliable solution you will find.

    @Bree, and @Try3, as one whos eyes are going bad from watching a monitor all the time and the fact that the OP mentions his optometrist, I'm certain they mean what Oscer1 has posted which also limits the amount of blue light a monitor emits.

    As a photographer, calibrating a monitor is a permanent measure where I don't want a "warm" or reddish yellowish screen all the time.

    In this case I agree with Oscar being I have the same issue. The other alternative is to get blue filtered glasses. That's the route I'm taking as I'm also a photographer who needs the full gambit of colors. And yes, my monitor is color calibrated, and the brightness lowered as part of the calibration procedure.

    which is also what the OP has tried already

    Bree's suggestion is intended to achieve the same visual result but in a way that survives rebooting.

    A qualified medical practitioner has prescribed a recommended course of action. I hope the OP doesn't see it befitting to attempt some other alternative from unqualified sources.

    I've used Night Light for roughly a year.

    It's on a schedule, set to be ON from 9 am to 845 am the following day.

    That survives reboots. I can see the screen dim over a 3 or 4 second interval during the latter stages of any reboot.

    I suppose those settings mean that it's OFF for 15 minutes a day between 845 am and 9 am. Could be, but I've never noticed a brighter screen during that time period. I see from the settings that there is no finer granularity than 15 minutes.

    Bree's suggestion is a means of achieving the course of action that the qualified medical practitioner prescribed.

    And it would be just as easy to deliberately calibrate it to give a "warm" or reddish yellowish screen....
