  Once the primary monitor is disabled. The option to change the color setting from candle to incandescent etc does not work. The fix is to re-enable it on the primary monitor and it will then allow you to make the change and have it take effect.. quality of life fix nothing more

  Just thought I would throw in on this issue. I tried all of the troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue for my self. I have a three monitor extended display work station, and one monitor was attached with a USB-connected adapter that used the DisplayLink Driver. I updated the driver to my graphics card, updated the driver to Display link, changed the Reg Keys in accordance with the link provided in the OP. I also went ahead and followed every other suggestion I could find in the thread. My PC is Windows 10 Pro, and I was having the issue with the snipping tool catching the tint, and it was really frustrating. When I disabled F.lux and switched to windows nightlight, it didn't work at all on the monitor with the Displaylink adaptor, because it wasn't using the Intel graphic driver when connected, it was using the DisplayLink driver, and I couldn't find a way around it. (It's a work PC, so no NVIDIA like my home build.) In spite of it only being connected to one monitor, the snipping tool issue effected every monitor, not just the one with the DisplayLink connection. SO. I replaced my old DisplayLink USB adapter with a new Display Port to DVI adapter, and guess what, Every. Single. Problem. Is now fixed. Go ahead and just bin your adapters. It won't save you money, but it will save you so much time. Now both F.lux and Night light works for me perfectly fine on every monitor, and the snipping tool issue is completely resolved.

  Hello! Does now work also screen dimming functionality with latest drivers? (ALT+PgDown on f.lux). I have now 8.2 driver provided automatically by Windows 10 and changing colors works fine with f.lux, but not screen dimming on lcd connected via displaylink. (Default night screen win10 functionality also doesn't work.) Thanks!

  @rseiler said in Windows 10 Night Light vs. f.lux: @twocables That's interesting. I've tried Night Light recently and don't see a visual difference with it. What kind of number are you talking about where you see it happen? I don't really go below 5000 or so. Anything warm, like as low as 1200K. I use temperatures this warm so that I can still use my computer before going to sleep without getting exposed to too much alerting light. It's not noticeable until you compare it to Night Light. Once I saw the difference, I no longer liked f.lux.

  Welp, managed to fix it last night. For those that get the same error I'll post my solution. I ran "dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" in Command Prompt, then "sfc/scannow" Seemed to do the trick!

  @chaxha Of course I find a workaround as soon as I finally post this. I disabled flux for the app I had open on my second monitor as well - and now it works correctly (i.e. it doesn't turn my brightness down). Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

  I have this precise problem as well - and have gone through the troubleshooting steps provided in other threads on this same topic, to no success. I would love to find a solution to this, as I also use screenshots all the time! Any insight welcome.

  Thanks for the note. We did try in our beta to do this for "most" notifications but we wound up messing up the notification center pretty badly, so we stopped. The interaction between "native" apps and the "modern" APIs is still a little difficult on Windows. For instance, we never had much luck handling notification clicks and other cases like that, especially if someone clicked a notifier after we updated. We made the notifiers as they are to support Windows 7, and to handle the notifiers we make that animate over time (which isn't possible that I know of with the system). Then we wound up using them for everything due to the notification center problems. Also we used every API we could to see if Windows is in "do not disturb" mode (presentation mode, fullscreen, etc.), and tried to suppress notifications -- there are like three different things we check there. I would assume that the "modern" side of Windows is not talking to the native side again there -- possibly even the "do not disturb" feature is quite new, since we shipped this version of f.lux. Will look into it more.

  Thank you. I installed Windows 10 on a spare drive I forgot I had for testing, and I'm happy to report the version right on this website works perfectly. So, I don't need to use the Microsoft Store like I once thought.

  While going through Flux's files I found a file called "flux.psd", it seems as though this is what defines the interface and its colours. I was able to change most of these to have a decent-ish dark theme. It's not perfect and may have some flaws, I haven't really bothered checking everything as I barely need the UI. I'm not sure if linking edited files is allowed but here's the .psd

  fwiw: I had the same experience with surface book, so there is a checkbox in the options menu to use the fn-lock'd equivalents, if that helps.

  Pushed 4.97 beta with full compatibility under 18351. Looks like everything is working a lot better now. The main (release) build will work also, but this one should be more efficient.

  @ludi7 okay - how many apps are in your disable list, or do you reboot every day? We should not be showing these more than once per session, and we'll make an option if it's too annoying.
