@fckflux Lol, happened to see your reply a little late perhaps. I see your username and that's hilarious, why bother using f.lux anyways man you have a laptop with brightness hotkeys to change your brightness so no need! Also just use Windows night mode or use LightBulb instead for christ sike. Dude's probably still complaining about his washed out color's, sheeeeeeit if necessary reinstall darn Windows! Then simple don't ever reinstall f.lux on that laptop. Not hard.

I stand by F.lux and have been using it for years no problem with AMD & Nvidia GPU's, all kinds of different hardware. But hopefully by now you've already fixed your issue...

What really gets me is when you say "7 years later this issue still persists." I'm uncertain as to what to think about that. Do you mean you've been dealing with this same issue after installing F.lux from 7 years ago? If so dude, maybe you should get a new laptop. LMAO. But If I think what you really meant is that you've seen other threads from people 7 years ago with this same problem then that would obviously make more sense.

@herf I think I already wrote a reply but it didnt get approved yet? mby you have a xmas break (or mby I misremember)

anyway, so my 4070ti has two screens, one is monitor end DVI <----> GPU HDMI, this is the screen that doesnt get "respected" by flux, i.e. if I run a program in fullscreen on this screen, non of my 2 screens flux filter gets turned down,

my other monitor is monitor end displayport <----> GPU displayport, this monitor is the one that flux respects, if I run a program in fullscreen, the flux filter lifts from both screens.

Oof. I think you've identified it. The solution suggested on reddit seems to be a clean reinstall of NVIDIA's drivers... which... well... I'm going to go make peace with my bright red screen instead. :/

Thank you for digging into this. At least now I have something I can potentially try if I decide to fix things.

Have a good week ahead!

@herf It varies from a few times a day, and up to a few minutes apart.
I have been making changes to the network, but all on same net now with fixed ip.
Still quite often, so does not seem to be dhcp or routing related.
Turned off all automations in apps. Not using wall dimmers etc.
I did turn the lights down using the app about an hour ago, and have seen 3 notifications since, but none in the hours before using the app. - so probably like you say, its slowly undoing the change I made manually.

Changed to fast gaming transition now, and turned the lights all the way down in app. About 10% up again after 5 mins, but no notification yet.
Does seem a bit random when it displays :)

Actually, with the option checked to Back of flux when making app changes I expected flux to leave the lights alone for longer. Until the sun is up preferably ;)

@JoeNola Hi Joe - sorry for this, we have started to warn that Intel Xe adapters (11th and 12th gen) have this issue, it's an unfortunate bug that's somewhat out of our control. If Alt+End does not reset it, a reboot could be necessary to do so.

@p1r473 are you seeing this often?

It should be infrequent & only when someone is adjusting the lights external to f.lux....which I guess we expected would happen when you weren't using your PC, so this is kind of a debugging thing.

@Kuszkusz yes this is as expected - the changelog is for beta and Hue users who update. We try not to update everyone until things are stable.

@herf Just confirmed reference mode is not on and everything seems to be default in those settings

@herf Sorry to open up this old topic again, but I am still having the same issue. Do you have an update on this?

@janat08 Alt+Shift+Page Up (and Alt+Shift+Page Down).

If this doesn't work, then you can enable this keyboard shortcut in the f.lux Options.

This keyboard shortcut will enable you to adjust the color temperature whenever you want.

@sourdough05 yes it's important to calibrate displays. I can imagine doing some more of it in the future.

The "best" solution for this is to use a hardware calibrator like the i1display or the Spyder. These can account for not just the chromaticity of the whitepoint (like you describe) but the particular changes to render RGB properly also, and also they can make the "gamma curve" correct so that intermediate tones look right as well.

There are some apps that let you do this without the hardware, like QuickGamma: https://quickgamma.de/indexen.html and anything that adjusts ICC/ICM profiles like that tends to work with f.lux

@fluxr0x I would check first that "disable for app" is not turned on for VLC.

Otherwise it may be turning on a discrete GPU in your machine that resets the color settings, and the usual fix for that is to update all the video drivers. You can post f.lux options > driver info if you would like us to look.

@password you could try using our "LAN API" to post to a webserver that controls the keyboard. A simple python script could listen and f.lux would talk to it.

Can confirm the same issue still applies as of 2023.

f.lux version 4.124.0.0 1 Personal Edition

2x Acer Nitro VG280K 28" 4k 60Hz (8-bit RGB SDR)

I'm still having problems with the Darkroom mode....when I try to enable it, it immediately quits and returns to whatever the current F.lux setting is. I'm hoping there will be a Darkroom update soon.....
