after Win10 April Update - flux sometimes swich on/off for seconds

Ok, and on my Thinkpad (which is a little older) there is no problem. Can anyone with a problem please post driver info (f.lux options, button at the bottom?)
-
I'm having the same problem on my Yoga 720. Any suggestions much appreciated!
-
Can any of you post driver info? Specifically I'm wondering if anyone is having trouble without an NVIDIA + Intel combination (they used to call this "optimus" but maybe there is a new word for it).
So far, it is likely: Yoga 720 has NVIDIA, my Surface Book 2 has NVIDIA, some T470 have NVIDIA.
My Thinkpad (without the issue) is Intel-only.

My Yoga 720 driver info - no NVIDIA card, Intel-only

good to know - so all Intel 620?
-
@herf Yessir. Also I will note that this windows update has been giving me other problems that I don't think is related to f.lux but could be - every so often my screen freezes and forces me to close/open my laptop. Haven't tried disabling f.lux to see if that's the issue yet, but may try it sometime.

I have heard they are fixing the "Chrome" lockup next Tuesday? This is why I downgraded for the moment: https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/3/17315180/microsoft-windows-10-april-2018-update-chrome-crash-freezing-problems

@herf Oh wow thanks for sharing. Didn't hear about this.
-
I'm getting this issue whenever I switch on/off my bluetooth speakers (oddly enough). It's an old laptop, info below -
Intel i5 - 2410M
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 - driver version 9.17.10.4459
NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M - driver version 22.21.13.8476 -
@DaveJ Huh, that could be it for me; I use Bluetooth headphones all the time.
-
This post is deleted! -
Anyone else think it's related to Bluetooth? If you can switch off Bluetooth entirely, does the flashing stop?
-
@herf I'm not seeing "flashing", flux basically pauses for a couple of seconds each time something connected via Bluetooth is turned on/off. Also happens when connecting/disconnecting a usb stick.
-
Got it... so I'm thinking any time a device is added (and maybe removed) from the system?
-
@herf Yeah seems to be. Just tried and it also happens with a USB mouse and keyboard.
Not sure if it's relevant but I'm using multiple monitors. Also, clicking anywhere on the screen immediately brings flux back (it comes back by itself after a few seconds).
-
Okay thank you for this. Think this is the answer and I will see if I can get it fixed. :)

Hello,
After trying to remove the usb mouse it does indeed stop f.lux, until a few seconds or a click on the screen.
But I have small occasional freezes without removing anything, I was not able to replicate them but they seem to be more frequent when I navigate in the computer settings through notification panel on the dock (might be cyclic and because I go there much, could look like it's linked.)I always have the bluetooth on and a second monitor connected.
I'm using a surface book with intel processor and nvidia graphic card.
Hope it can help !
I'll update if I see anything else. -

I'll update if I see anything else.This is basically been my exact experience as well. I've noticed that the glitch tends to happen when I initiate a new computer process like opening the computer panel or switching between/opening new apps and less when I'm just staying in Word for extended periods of time. Though this is just a tendency and it sometimes happens regardless (I wonder if notifications or other background processes have to do with it?).

Seems working after uninstall/reboot/reinstall classic windows version.

Err nope, finally it disabling randomly during seconds...
