What is it?
Auto Dark Mode automatically switches Windows between its light and dark themes on a schedule — at fixed times, or following your local sunrise and sunset. It changes the system and app theme together, and can also swap your wallpaper and accent colour. It's the automatic-theme feature Windows should have built in.
Who should use it?
Anyone who likes dark mode at night and light mode by day but is tired of flipping it manually — basically everyone who cares about eye comfort.
