Studies have shown that the blue light from your devices’ screen can cause various issues like eye strain, blurry vision, dry eye, etc. Since most of us now spend hours in front of one device or another, whether for work or entertainment, there is a high probability of facing these issues. Luckily, most devices allow you to filter this light and ensure that eye health is not affected. This tutorial will show you how to enable a blue light filter on Windows 11 systems.
Enable Blue Light Filter Windows 11
The process to enable this filter is very simple. Just follow the steps below:
Step-1: Click on the Windows icon on the taskbar. Then select the Settings cog. (You can also open the Settings app using the shortcut keys: Win + I)
Step-2: Ensure that you are in the System Settings from the left pane.
Step-3: In the System settings, select the Display option from the right pane.
Step-4: Turn the toggle switch On next to Night Light. Once you turn the switch On, your screen will immediately shift to warmer colors.

If you wish to enhance the warmth, reduce it or even schedule the filter, you can easily do it.
- Follow all the steps above 1-3.
- Click on the Night Light option. (Do not click on the toggle switch)
- Use the slide bar next to Strength to change the warmth of the filter. You can choose anything from 0-100. At 100, your screen will be very orangish.

[As you can see from the image below that you can set hours according to what you want, and you can also choose the Sunset to Sunrise option depending on your location. For the latter option, ensure that your location is On]
