Windows 11 can now automatically switch between light and dark modes.

While you’ll need a Microsoft PowerToy to do it, you can now automatically switch between light and dark modes on Windows 11 based on a schedule or when the sun rises and sets. The latest Light Switch PowerToy is very similar to the Auto Dark Mode app that’s been around for years, and you can also use it to set whether the shell, apps, or both should switch automatically.

The new Light Switch PowerToy can even switch modes based on when the sun rises or sets.
