Night light mode

Night light is a switch in Windows that you can turn on and off. When it is 
turned on, your screen shows warmer colors and the amount of emitted 
blue light is reduced. Enabling night light reduces the chances of developing 
eye fatigue or eye strain. 

Note:

For more guidance on reducing eye fatigue or eye strain, go to

Night light

Adjust color 
temperature

If night light mode is turned on, you can adjust the color temperature of the 
screen. 

Note:

Selected Lenovo computers are low blue light certified. These 

computers are tested with night light turned on and color temperature set to 
the default value of 48.

Windows 
Updates

Microsoft periodically releases feature and security updates to the Windows 
operating system. Updates that are applicable to your Windows version are 
downloaded automatically when your computer is connected to the 
Internet. When updates are downloaded, you are prompted to restart the 
computer to install these updates. You can also manually check if there are 
available updates for the installed version of Windows. 

Attention:

Only use Windows Update to download and install updates. 

Updates downloaded from other sources may include security risks.
