Microsoft continues to work on improvements for Windows 11 and is currently testing a new display feature. The focus is on a feature designed to ease eye strain during extended use. People who spend a lot of time in front of screens could benefit from this.
Part of a larger update package called Windows K2, the feature has not yet been officially confirmed. What is clear is that Microsoft aims to modernize its operating system in several areas, including performance, stability, and new features.
Test Run in the Insider Program
The new feature was discovered as part of the Windows Insider Program. According to a report from “Windows Latest,” it is currently named Screen Tint. A final German name has not yet been decided, but “Bildschirmtönung” is a possibility. The feature includes a menu that allows various color filters to be applied to the screen. The goal is to make the display more comfortable, especially for users with sensitive eyes.

The setting can be found in the “Accessibility” section of Windows settings. There are several color variants available, tailored to different needs. Currently, there are six options. An amber tone is reminiscent of familiar night modes and is intended to make extended work easier. Additionally, there is a pink filter aimed at users prone to headaches or migraines. People sensitive to fluorescent lights are also expected to benefit.
Early Version with Problems
Screen Tint is currently in an early testing phase. According to “Windows Latest,” there have been issues with the display during initial trials. These include flickering screens and incorrect color adjustments. These difficulties indicate that the feature is not yet fully developed. It may take some time before it becomes available to all users.
