Windows 11: What are the steps to use the Night Light feature?

Windows 11 and Windows 10 both come equipped with an intriguing feature called Night Light. By decreasing the amount of blue light, it makes the colors on the display appear warmer.

Because blue light disrupts the body’s normal sleep-wake cycle, the Night Light function is vital for users who stay up late working on their computers because it lowers the amount of blue light they are exposed to. Users of Windows 11 have the ability to manually activate this function or to program it to activate or deactivate itself automatically.
