Changes and improvements
- This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements.
[Accessibility]
New accessibility setting: Screen tint
We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help.
Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider.To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press Win + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there you can:
- Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own.
- Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity.
Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity.
Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you may need to keep screen tint turned off.

Reminder for Windows Insiders in the Beta (26H1) channel
The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they're ready.
Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.
