Windows 10 default theme is very bright that hurts the eyes. If you spend much of time sitting in front of your computer, you can enable the built-in dark theme (known as “dark mode”) to reduce eye strain. In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 simple ways to enable dark theme (mode) in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

\"windows-10-dark-mode\"<\/p>\n

Method 1: Enable Windows 10 dark theme from the Settings app<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Settings app by clicking its shortcut from the Start Menu, or pressing Windows key + I shortcut on your keyboard.\n

    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Click on Personalization<\/strong>.\n

    <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. Select Colors<\/strong> tab on the left pane. Scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see the “Choose your app mode<\/strong>” section. By default, Windows 10 uses the light theme. To enable dark theme, click the Dark<\/strong> radio button and your apps will turn black right away.\n

    Before the Anniversary Update arrives, the dark theme is a hidden feature in Windows 10, which could only be enabled with a registry hack.<\/p>\n

    Method 2: Enable Windows 10 dark theme using registry hack<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the Registry Editor in Windows 10<\/a>. Navigate to the following key:
      \nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Themes\\Personalize<\/code>
      \n\tIf the Personalize<\/strong> key doesn’t exist, you need to add it manually.<\/li>\n
    2. In the right pane of Registry Editor, right-click any empty space to create a new DWORD (32-bit) value called AppsUseLightTheme<\/strong> with a value of 0. (0: enable dark theme, 1: enable the default light theme)\n

      \"AppsUseLightTheme\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. Now you’ve successfully enabled dark theme in Windows 10.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
