Windows night light randomly turns off

[Pete]

I turned windows night light on so i could play games at night without killing my eyes however whenever i quit a game the filter is gone but it still says its turned on in the settings.

Try running your games in borderless window that might fix it.

The nightlight probably turns off because the screen refreshes, must be a bug in Windows.

Who even uses that?
Do you not have a Preset on your Display for a lower brightness + lower contrast settings?
For perhaps better viewing while you're sitting in a darker or poorly lit room so as not to strain your eyes? Pretty much all my Monitors have about 5-7 Preset built-in, I have one for Movies/Games, one for general OS usage, one for Night/Dark Room, one that allows me to see extremely well in any Game that has a super dark night time in it (Its so good I can see perfectly well at night time in Arma3/DayZ) and then another I left default because it is an RGB mode for when you're doing things like Photoshop or Rendering; for overall color palette accuracy.

Well generally u want Night Time Mode off when you are Gaming; so the games are not dull/washed looking

I do. And I'd love for windows to stop turning it off randomly while I'm in the middle of playing a game.

Sometimes it turns off when the machine wakes from sleep. I have to go into Settings and then Display and mysteriously, that brings it back on.

Doesn't happen very often but I haven't found a solution for this myself. You're not alone in experiencing this.

Edit: do you have the hours set or are they default?

It's not meant to be used in conjuction with full screen apps like Games.
It is meant to reduce Blue light levels when simply using web browser, office suite; etc. while using the OS Desktop as a whole. It's rather pointless to enable such a thing when Gaming.

Apply an OS-wide DARK Theme and this will help out alot.
