How to enable Windows 10/Windows 11 Auto Dark Mode

A glowing monitor and backlight keyboard seems to hint the user to work in complete darkness. In fact, such a habit increases eye load and fatigue. But the dark theme interface, on the contrary, will help you to spend a long time at a computer or a laptop, especially with low light in the work room.
