Hur man automatiskt växlar mörka och ljusa lägen på Windows 10

If you don’t already know, your Windows 10 computer comes with a dark mode to help relieve your eyestrain and give your computer a more darkish look. The option is located in the Settings app and you can enable and disable it at any time you want.

The dark mode is mostly used at night times and the light mode is for daytime. If you this is also how you use it on your computer, you may have to toggle the mode manually each day.

You can actually make the process a bit easier for yourself by creating a task that automatically toggles dark mode on Windows 10 on or off for you. It’s pretty easy to set it up and you only need to do it once. It then runs automatically everyday and toggles the modes as per your specification.

Use Task Scheduler To Automatically Enable Dark Mode On Windows 10

Task Scheduler lets you automate a number of tasks on your Windows 10 computer. You can use it to create a task that auto-enables the dark mode at night time on your PC. You can set up a specific time for it when the task is triggered and the mode is enabled.

  • Click on the Cortana search box, search for Schemaläggaren, and click on it when you see it in the search results.
  • Klicka på Handling menu at the top and select the option that says Skapa en standardaktivitet.
  • Enter a name for your task, an optional description if you want, and click on Nästa to continue. You’ll want to use something like Aktivera mörkt läge as the name so you can recognize the task at a later time.
  • The following screen lets you set the frequency of the task. You’ll want to choose Dagligen so the dark mode gets enabled every night on your system. Then click on Nästa att fortsätta.
  • It’ll ask what time you’d like to activate the dark mode. Choose the time when you usually enable the mode on your computer and click on Nästa.
  • Here comes the part where it asks what the task should do when it’s triggered. Select Start av programmet as that’s what the task needs to do and click on Nästa.
  • On the following screen, you’ll be asked what program the task should run when it’s launched. You need to set the options as the following so it enables the dark mode.

    Program/manus:

    %SystemRoot%system32WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell.exe

    Add arguments (optional):

    New-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionThemesPersonalize -Name SystemUsesLightTheme -Value 0 -Type Dword -Force; New-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionThemesPersonalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 0 -Type Dword -Force

    Klicka sedan på Nästa att fortsätta.

  • You should now be on the task summary screen. Checkmark the option that says Öppna dialogrutan Egenskaper för den här uppgiften när jag klickar på Slutför och sedan klicka på Finish knapp.
  • The task properties box will open on your screen. Select the tab that says Villkor at the top and untick the box for Starta uppgiften endast om datorn är på nätström. Klicka sedan på OK för att spara ändringarna.

When the clock hits your specified time, Task Scheduler will run your task and activate the dark mode on your system. It’ll do this every night at your specified time.

Automatically Deactivate Dark Mode on Windows 10 Using Task Scheduler

The next morning when you wake up and look at your computer, you’ll find that it still has the dark mode turned on on it. It’s because the task you created above only enables the dark mode and doesn’t actually disable it in the morning.

To get your computer back to light mode during daytime, you’ll want to create a separate task for it in Task Scheduler.

  • Starta Schemaläggaren on your computer and click on Skapa en standardaktivitet.
  • ange Enable Light Mode as the name of the task, enter a description if you want, and click on Nästa på botten.
  • Since you chose Daily for the dark mode, you’ll need to choose Dagligen for the light mode task as well. Then click on Nästa att fortsätta.
  • It’ll ask you to enter the time when the task should be triggered. Specify the time when you want the light mode to be enabled on your machine and click on Nästa.
  • Välja Start av programmet on the following screen and hit Nästa.
  • Enter the following details on your screen and click on Nästa.

    Program/manus:

    %SystemRoot%system32WindowsPowerShellv1.0powershell.exe

    Add arguments (optional):

    New-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionThemesPersonalize -Name SystemUsesLightTheme -Value 1 -Type Dword -Force; New-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionThemesPersonalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 1 -Type Dword -Force

  • Bock Öppna dialogrutan Egenskaper för den här uppgiften när jag klickar på Slutför och klicka på Finish.
  • Välj Villkor fliken, avmarkera Starta uppgiften endast om datorn är på nätström, och träffa OK.

It’ll now auto-enable the light mode at your chosen time.

You can modify the schedule time at any time you want.

  • Öppen Schemaläggaren, find your task in the list, right-click on it, and select Våra Bostäder.
  • Klicka på triggers tab, select your trigger, and choose Redigera.
  • Specify a new time and click on OK på botten.

  • Right-click on the task and select Radera.

You’ll need to do it for both of your tasks.

Using An App To Schedule Dark & Light Modes On Windows 10
