Is anyone else having the issues I describe below?
My setting indicate that I have night light 'on' and it is set to come on automatically after sunset, and off after sunrise.
Definitively Night light doesn't come on when I start my computer during the hours it should be on. When I check the settings, it always indicates that the night light is 'ON'; but it is not. The moment I touch the switch, thinking I'll turn it off, then
on. It comes on, but not until then.
I've also noted similar issues when waking up from sleep, or waking from hibernation. If the machine went to sleep or hibernated while it was daylight, it may be turning the night light on, as the settings indicate it is 'ON', but the night light is not
actually on.
I have not had the chance to see if the inverse of this is true; like if the night light is on, the system sleeps or hibernates, and I bring the system online, if it switches to daylight. I suspect it will not; as it defaults to "ON' but it's 'not on' when
coming back from these states; but, the inverse may also be happening if it's just retaining current state, and all the system is not actually getting a chance to run the routine during startup/sleep/or hibernation.
I think the specific problems seems to be that the settings say it's on; but it is not on. It seems like the switch state is changing; but, the routine that actually modifies the system parameters is not working.
At first, It was also failing to come on at the designated time, even if the system was on; but, I found some settings in a forum that made that problem go away. Here are those settings, no I don't know what they mean:
