@Matt-Ambrose said in Can I just turn off the scheduling?:

Thanks for the info. In case you're a dev, I just want to mention that the menu icon doesn't seem very intuitively placed. I didn't even notice it. I was under the impression all settings could be had from the system tray.

But hey maybe that's me and my apparent lack of sunlight because of course I spend my whole day in my office.

I'm just another f.lux user and fan, but everything can be accessed from the Notification Area. I'm not sure what you're seeing on your computer.

Regarding not getting light, I recommend taking breaks maybe, or let some light in, or both.

And, it's ok to let your monitor be at 6500K and kind of bright during the first 50-75% of your day. It's good to get alerting light.

Can you tell the f.lux team what you need help with?

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.

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.
