Enable Windows Dark Mode via registry (no activation needed)

windows-dark-mode.md

Open regedit.exe, go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize and set both AppsUseLightTheme & SystemUsesLightTheme DWORDs to 0.

Alternatively, download and save the windows-dark-mode.reg file below as a .reg file and run it.

windows-dark-mode.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize]
"AppsUseLightTheme"=dword:00000000
"SystemUsesLightTheme"=dword:00000000

It's regedit.exe not regedit.msc.
.msc files are Microsoft Managment Console files.
