Turn OFF dark mode--completely and forever!

My problem is turning off dark mode completely. I see the "auto" selection as well as dark and light. Even when I choose "light," the screen ALWAYS goes to dark at a certain light level automatically anyway. I want to choose light manually and keep it that way. I'm using Mac OS Big Sur.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

See if there is anything here: How to use Dark Mode on your Mac


If no resolve try a safeboot to clear system cache files

Reboot as normal. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
