Bug Description

Turned Night Light feature on for both monitors. The setting worked for my first monitor but not for my second. I changed my primary display from the 1st to the second and night light started working on both monitors. Then I received this error message.

expected night light to work on both monitors when changing the Night Light setting from Off to On.

what happened: the setting worked for the main monitor and did not work for the second monitor. It wasn't until I changed my primary monitor from the first to the second that the Night Light setting started working
