Your iPhone or Android device adjusts its screen to improve your health, and now so does your Surface Pro. As long as you have the Fall Windows 10 Creators Update, you can turn on Night Light on the Surface Pro.
Night Light on Surface Pro improves your health by making it easier for you to sleep. During the day, your device’s screen emits as much blue light as it always does. At night – or as you say – Night Light reduces the amount of blue light coming from your screen. Some studies show that people who look at less blue light in the evening sleep more easily. The better your sleep, the more refreshed you will be.
You need Windows 10 for Night Light to work on your Surface Pro. This is the software update that Microsoft gives for free to Windows 8 users. If you have a Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2, or Surface Pro 3 without the update, you won’t find the Night Light setting you need. Upgrade your device to Windows 10, then try turning the feature on.
