Well i decided to really examine the motherboard.. and discovered some ports are seriously damaged, so i renabled the controller in the bios and went in windows and disabled the individual ports in the device manager until the ones pictured below had 0 on the multimeter.

Then I put some electrical tape over them, and also the power supply that came with the board I replaced with a spare one I have, and its running normal now f.lux is acting perfectly once again.

@Dong-Lee It uses sunset times, not your own times. If you, like most, don't sleep at 4 pm, you have to manually change the color every few hours after sunset in winter, or change your location to something in the world that matches your sleep patterns. I just move the the colors as needed, since the color I've comfortable with at 5 pm is vastly different than the color I'm comfortable with at 10 pm.

Sorry forgot to post driver info: Intel Corporation 22.20.16.4691: Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (20170602)

@herf Tried it and it is indeed working as supposed to - thanks again.

It was definitely, 100% flux. I could control it by opening and closing the flux process. Tooltip refreshing could be the cause. It hasn't returned yet.

Yes we have a new version that will do this, but it still needs some tweaking.
Will make sure we work on it more.

@herf

Thank you for your reply.

@herf said in Strange behaviour on 1709 with Crimson 17.10.1:

Is Defender trying to remove f.lux?

No. The Defender Notification Icon in the Notification Area shows up although I disabled it (How to). It doesn't show an error, it does not inform me of something, it simply appears although I disabled the appearance. That is my problem. Apart from that f.lux and Defender work as intended. As I found out a week ago, with the Windows Store version of f.lux the Defender Icon does not show up.

So I am happy now but there is something in your code in the 4.55 standalone version that activates the Defender Notifiaction Icon.

He is saying that when you move the f.lux window, it will only be remembered for the current session of f.lux. It will not save it so that the next time f.lux launches the window is still opening to the same spot. It goes back to the far right.

It's not possible. Perhaps it could be an option in future versions, but they don't have it right now in their current version.

Move the slider left or right. Or, go into the f.lux menu and choose "Adjust day and night colors together".
