      @WhiteColorQuestion f.lux does load the system profile to set the "normal" white mode it shows during the day, but it should leave no lasting effect if you uninstall & reboot. Are you aware of any other software that might have reduced the brightness previously?

      @herf
      Thanks, I see that now but I didn't notice it before you mentioned it.
      What does the Disable for a specified program do? Does it set the display to 6500K and is that what the Return to Full Brightness does?

      Do all these options do the same thing? Or can the colour temperature be at 1900K when "Return to Full Brightness" is enabled? It's not very clear what the keyboard shortcuts do. I would think that if the colour temperature was set to 1900K then Alt+PgDn would only reduce the brightness from 1900K and go up to 1900K maximum. That would be different to Full Brightness would it not?

      How do I stop flux to stop changing colors arbitrary / Force always on mode / Force coupling day and night colors?

      @flux_onetimepost I am wondering, whether some old version of f.lux would work in such a manner that we are able to manually specify the screen colour without extra smarts from the software?

      @duskdevilza usually this is due to a USB connected monitor (which does not have full color controls). Sometimes these notes can help:

      @accessolutions our corporate build requires activation but transmits no personal information to do it. The license is per-machine.

      @reina3 These color effects are not on the "planckian locus" meaning there is no CCT that matches them exactly - this one is very close to 6400K but not really! We should allow scheduling these in a future version.

      @Holoubek You might want to set Backwards Alarm Clock a bit earlier. For example you want to stop working at 9pm, you should set the wake up time to 6am.

      It should notify you around that time.

      @bitzie I would first expect the NVIDIA driver, since these drivers over the last few years have had modes that turn off color controls ("reference mode" and other things), though recently one of them was very hard to turn off once you turn it on.

      I can only recommend looking some more into color settings in the NVIDIA control panel ("Current color accuracy mode" under "Adjust desktop color settings"?)

      Now the version of flux-setup.exe that is linked to from the website has a Last-Modified header of "Wed, 21 Feb 2024 23:39:51 GMT" and when installed indicates "Exit f.lux (v4.134)".

      Thanks for updating, and thank you for the program.

      (This can now be closed. Thank you.)

      So, after some trial and error, I found a workaround. It's not the most elegant solution, but it works for me. I manually adjust Flux settings before firing up the game. I tinker with the color temperature so it's not too harsh during gaming sessions. Not a perfect fix, but it beats the constant back-and-forth disabling dance.

      Had this issue also. Didn't even cross my mind that f.lux could be behind it, but now that you mention it, it's worth looking into.

      @Juschi the skip button skips the version, and it should not prompt again. We have done several updates recently, which have critical fixes for Windows updates, so you will be prompted for them one by one.

      The trouble with maintaining f.lux is that we do feature updates sometimes, but we do compatibility updates often as we're glued between the operating system and a bunch of third party drivers. If we had to explain to each person why they should update we would be having millions of conversations about it all the time.

      @Night-Prowler usually this means it is using the "basic" driver and you should update to the actual Intel driver. This is the configuration we used to develop f.lux ten years ago so it absolutely should work with the right driver!

      @herf thanks for the quick reply Herf, it seems location access for my laptop was set to "off", but I still had to update location manually in F.lux (on the bottom right) and it's working now, thanks for the help!location.PNG

      @lech7 yes, it is a brightness backoff, so f.lux will not override other controllers' brightness settings.

      However, f.lux will use its color settings all the time. There are some adjustments for how we map screen colors to hue colors, however.
