svchost is a wrapper for a service. f.lux doesn't use any services. The one you mention is responsible for handling network connections like Windows Update (which is now EOL'd for Windows 7).

Have you obtained the software from our website or a third party? I would try to see what it's connecting to, or run an anti-virus check.

@bikelike said in yellowish rather than redish:

Thanks for the answer. Just you don't quite understand what I mean.

When I choose soft white in f.lux, I get a nice warm tone which is mainly a shift towards yellow. No magenta seems to be added. However, this tone is not available in the color temperature range of f.lux. That is because also magenta is added. Which is similar to the Windows 10 Night Light. Do you understand what I mean now?

Personally I prefer the yellow shift over the reddish shift. That is why I like Mac better in that respect.

Ideally there would be a feature within f.lux where both temperature AND tint (as it is called in Lightroom) can be set. Please take that as a warm feature request :-)

Soft White is approximately 4500-4700K. This is still far too 'alerting' and melatonin-suppressing and circadian-rhythm-disrupting.

What precisely are you using f.lux for? Comfort? Or for avoiding melatonin suppression? If for comfort, Night Shift is ok. If for avoiding melatonin suppression, Night Shift isn't good. It doesn't matter that it looks better. Looks aren't important when you're trying to avoid melatonin suppression.

how can I get to that fallback mode?

@TheophilusThistle said in It's Too Dark!:

I tried a search, surprised I couldn't find any posts about f.lux being too dark. I have tried tweaking the settings but I don't like how dark f.lux makes my screen, and the computer's brightness option can't make it any lighter.

How do I brighten the lighting using f.lux?

Do you mean that you don’t like how warm the color temperature gets?

@shekelmyrrh said in Colours are barely warm on low light settings:

@TwoCables Turns out it was a broken display driver and reinstalling the driver fixed it. Thanks!

Whoa! I didn't see that coming. :) I'm happy you figured it out. This is usually caused by not expanding the color range. Nice work!

This is a followup (or a bump in internet parlance).

f.lux has disable per monitor - you can find it in the disable menu.

Thanks we will probably make it more explicit in the future.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Using Windows 10's Night Light is a workaround. But I would prefer to use flux, because flux is better than Windows 10's Night Light.

While inverting color selection the problem can be caused by magnifier and it can stop working. To make the magnifier work you just simply need to follow these 2 steps:
• Press Windows and + key to open magnifier tool
• Now, press CTRL + ALT + I key all together
• This will invert all the colors on the screen and magnifier will work properly.
Know more about inverted colors in Windows and make your system looks better than before.

The problem has been solved. Flux automatically starts up again every day. Had reinstalled everything and added an exclusion in defender, now it runs smoothly.
Thanks for the responses

Any ideas, anyone?

@herf Thank's for answer.

@TwoCables Thanks.
