Night Light Not Working right

My nightlight will not stay at 60% when it's on. When I go into Settings and Nightlight and make sure that the nightlight is set at 60%, I close settings. When I reopen the nightlight, it shows that it is at 100%. Also, I have issues with the nightlight starting automatically at Sunset to Sunrise.

I have followed the troubleshooting tips such as:

-Checked the location: Location is On

-Date and Time Settings are current, including the sync is updating

- check the video adapters updates

-check the update on the monitor

-Uninstalled video adapters and monitor, then restarted

-deleted the nightlight in the registry, then restarted

-check Windows Update

-Troubleshooting 101 REBOOTED #1

I have Windows 10 version 21H1 os build 19043.1110

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

What am I missing?

Hi TM. I'm Greg, an Independent Advisor, Volunteer Moderator and 10 year Windows MVP here to help you.

Let's go over all the fixes for night light to see if one can get it working correctly, and if not make sure you have the best display driver installed since this is what governs it.

1) See fixes here working for night light:

2) Update the Display driver from the PC or Display adapter maker's Support Downloads web page for your exact model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.

While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS/UEFI firmware (very important), network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

if this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by the Intel driver update Utility here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/...
or the Nvidia Update utility here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=e...
or the AMD autodect utility here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/P...

For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.

You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.

Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers.

3) Go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

4) If nothing else helps you can run a Repair Install by installing the Media Creation Tool and choosing from it to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows in about an hour while saving your files, apps and most settings, solves many problems while also bringing it up to the latest version 1903 which you need anyway and by the most stable method. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m....

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you'll wait to rate whether my post helped you, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
