  1. Windows Night Light keeps shutting off when I click out of or close the Settings Window


    I'm attempting to use the Nightlight feature, specifically scheduling it. I'll set the timings, the filter will turn on, but then whenever I click out of or close the Settings window, the filter shuts off, even though when I check again, it says the nightlight is on. I've tried updating my driver, deleting my driver and restarting my computer, I've tried deleting the two suggested folders from the registry, location services is on.My computer is running Windows 11, with an AMD driver.

    Night Light Settings

    Separately from the Night Light, is the brightness options also disabled? If so, I might recommend these steps to make it work again:

    1) Right-click Start button, choose Device Manager

    2) Find the "monitors" section in the list and expand it

    3) Right-click and uninstall every item listed under the monitors section

    ….. note: don't accidentally go to the "display adapter section", leave that one untouched.

    4) Click the "scan for hardware" button on the toolbar up top (the icon with the magnifying glass inside it)

    5) Try brightness and night light settings again
