The Time section is all about setting when you want your PC to switch between modes. When you open the Auto Dark Mode app, there are five main options in the menu, so we’re going to run through them in order. Once everything is set up, you’re good to start automating your dark mode. I’ve been running the app for weeks without issue, but if you’re really concerned you can also download a Microsoft-verified version of the app directly through the Windows Store if you’re running Windows 11 (unfortunately, I can’t link to a Microsoft Store page so you’ll have to open the Store app and search for it yourself).

Windows may show a warning about installing the software (the developer notes on the README page that it’s because of a missing signature licence). Once downloaded, run the setup file provided (it’s a ‘.exe’). To start, download Windows Auto Dark Mode from GitHub ( click this link and scroll down to the ‘README’ file, then click ‘Download’). Before we go much further, most of this should apply to Windows 10 too - if you want to automate dark mode on your Windows 10 PC, these steps should work too. Windows Auto Dark mode, however, is free and offers a lot of customizability (plus, it already supports Windows 11).

My app of choice is ‘Windows Auto Dark Mode,’ but there are other solutions out there too.
