No color changes under Windows Insider 19H1
-
@herf It might be just me, but after restarting it doesn't look like it had an effect.
When I first saw the build #, I read it as 18336 and not 18836, which is what they made it for some reason. Is that possibly the reason?
-
try again
-
@herf Still no effect that I can see.
-
F.lux (and Night Light) stopped working on Insider build 18836.
Hope you can push a workaround soon, my eyes are so used to always having F.lux in the evenings :) -
Ok sorry I missed the note about 18836 not 18336. Pushed two blocks of exclusions just now, agh.
-
@herf Thanks! It's working.
-
Yes, all good again.
Things should get really fun soon, since MS is going to continue pushing out 183xx builds while developing 188xx (two different sets of testers).
-
No real updates in current builds on the general issue beyond statements like:
"While we’ve done some work to improve night light reliability in this build, we’re continuing to investigate issues in this space."
Which I take to mean includes 3rd-party, as f.lux doesn't work in today's 18841.
While I haven't tried the other two builds this week--18342 and 18343--they should be in the same boat.
-
@rseiler thanks again - have updated for these versions also.
-
Build 18343 not working with f.lux. My eyes are on fire 🔥_🔥
-
@charsy89 Can you use our beta?

Works perfectly. Thx!
I hope Microsoft fixes this soon D: -
Third message about the brightness still not working and still no answer (little up this thread and here) ....
Do you plan to fix it ? (details in the link below)
Regards
-
@clem0338 we are still in "workaround" mode since the color controls are not working. Hopefully some fixes soon.
-
@herf Soon, but not with today's 18845 and (likely) yesterday's 18346.
-
@rseiler okay I put 18845 under our compatibility just now.
-
Thankfully I found this thread - my F.lux wasn't working with build 18342 and my eyes were burning out staring at my BLUE screen after dark! I just manually closed F.lux and reopened it and it turned on (PHEW)! So glad to have it back. Hope it's fixed in a new build soon.

Does it make any sense that the workaround mode could possibly cause some black video blotching/tearing in some apps some of the time (Outlook seems to be the main one seeing this)? The black "blocks" randomly flash in a portion of the window and then disappear.
It took me forever to realize that f.lux was doing it, since it's not a constant thing at all, though only since the workaround has been needed.
-
Well I am not aware that blacks should be affected by it.
I know about some flashing like this in 1803/1809, due to the way the profiles are loaded/reset from Windows. Generally the bug we are working around in the shipping versions is that the system treats any device change (like a bluetooth headset or USB insert) as a "reset" to the color system, and so we have to race around trying to fix it. I don't know what is going on in this new version yet, but I am watching - guess we have another potential release later today.
-
@herf That's right, 18348 is out.
Just to explain it a little better in case it matters, it's not that blacks are affected exactly, but black artifacts appear randomly over non-black areas. In this sense, you might say that it's whites being affected, or at least anything not black.
