F.Lux keeps temporarily disabling, then re-enabling a 5-10s later
-
I calibrated my displays (using 3) with my SpyderX pro and am using the custom ICC profiles. Ever since, f.lux keeps randomly disabling for a few seconds, then re-enables either automatically or sometimes when I go to click the start bar to open f.lux and see what's going on. It never did this prior to using the ICC profiles, so I'm thinking f.lux doesn't like something about it?
I found a couple other posts here about it, but they all seem to end with a response of the issue being resolved by an update. I am on the latest version (4.120) so not sure if there's something else I need to try / configure.

@fnhanks f.lux does act as the main profile loader (so it loads the ICC plus its own transform). If the Spyder installs a separate app to do this, you can disable it because it will conflict.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've disabled the Spyder utility from starting and it seems to be working now. Since the profiles are saved in the windows directory, flux should still be loading the calibrated profiles, and then just layering on it's modifications, right? It seems to be operating this way, but just confirming.

@fnhanks yes that's right. The only detail is: whenever you re-calibrate the screen, make sure to quit f.lux first and reload it after.
