WMR disables night light

GuyAtherton · Dec 22, 2021

each time I shut down WMR, the PCscreen flickers like crazy and then the night light is disabled. However it is still shown as enabled in the taskbar. I have to manually cycle it on and off to get it going again. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print. Kindly check and go to driver, and download the existing drivers needed. Then restart, plug in the Receiver. Go to the same optional updates, and updated the driver.

Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.

If Updating the system doesn't help, I'll suggest you run a scan to check for problems and repair them.

Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator. Next type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt window, and press Enter to start to scan and repair corrupt system files in Windows 10.

Hi,

if you like VR, I suggest to give WMR a try. There are many good Games with Live and Achievements in the Store. Even most of Steam VR works with WMR, like Beat Saber

WMR= Windows Mixed Reality

The Headset are meanwhile quite cheap.

I don't see a reason why they wouldn't put WMR support on the next console.

Thanks, let's try this in this case:

A. Try uninstalling the most recent windows update, just in case it is the one causing conflicts

*If the issue persist uninstall the next recent update and repeat, don't forget to disable automatic updates temporarily

B. Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily

Restart the PC and try again

C. Do a clean boot in your PC and try again

D. Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there
