I have not developed for the platform, however anecdotally I can say that it seems to run like a normal update. So it briefly uninstalls or disables the application, then runs it again when it is complete. I don't see evidence of a post install version check, so potentially as long as the value is written by the next time a WinGet command is ran, it should behave as expected. I'd give it shot and see if it works if that's the easiest/quickest route.
It seems like a pretty open community, so if if you had questions you could probably respond to the linked ticket to get any needed advice; it's already got the Help-Wanted tag, and I think you're just the folks for the job.

I'm having the exact same problem. Very annoying.
Running Flux 41.4 on a 2018 MacBookPro, BigSur 11.4, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB
Please advise. Thank you...
f.lux runs on jailbroken iOS devices or on iOS9 with a sideload.

Yes really there are two markets: eyewear manufacturers (including BluTech, from your link) have started filtering a little bit of light, but usually these wavelengths really don't make a big difference for computer screens. BluTech is unique because you can see the difference, so it does more than most.
Also, there are efforts to make screen covers, or to move the blue primary over a bit or to change screen spectrum by a tiny amount. There you find some self-described "standards" (no consensus standard) for blue-light safety in screens, with a ton of press about it. I like what they are doing for flicker, but the spectral changes cannot make much difference, and so the press around it seems very disingenuous:
Here are some examples:
https://fluxometer.com/rainbow/#!id=filter/BluTech - this one makes a visible change
https://fluxometer.com/rainbow/#!id=filter/ZAGG Visionguard - this one claims to help your eyes without making a visible change
Based on the numbers, changing the brightness of your screen by any amount at all will make a bigger difference than this kind of filter.
Hello @Jeffrey58
F.lux is available all the windows Users and Mac OS users for free. For windows users follow the following installation guide.
Go to justgetflux. com.
You can read further instructions or just click on “Download F.lux” button.
Open the installer and install the app.
You will be redirected to their welcome page and a dashboard should show up on the screen.
Re: Single Monitor Restriction for a Dual Monitor Setup
This was 3 years ago, I still can't believe there isn't a feature for this :(
I've read all the comments on the above thread and user @Dogway mentioned there is a solution, it's not a official one but can disable f.lux on one screen.
The solution -
-Install Argyll and run in command prompt: dispwin -c -d 2
*2 should be the screen where you want to clear the LUT, it might be 1 or 2 depending on display assigned ID
-You should see how the f.lux blue filter LUT restores, that's because f.lux is constantly ticking/checking (btw it should be great to disable this). So instead of closing f.lux (it will restore the LUT), simply kill the process: taskkill /f /im flux.exe
To summarize, create a .BAT with the following code and execute at will:
taskkill /f /im flux.exe
ping localhost -n 2 >nul
dispwin -c -d 2
I've tried this solution but it keeps disabling all my monitors. Instead of messaging Dogway personally, I thought I can bring this up with other forum members to see if they found another solution and if they can help.
Thanks
p.s my Argyll folder is on the desktop, however, I don't think the code/bat file is using Argyll, probably that is the reason?
