@GoldenRelik you can post "f.lux options > driver info" and maybe email us a video from your phone? (support at justgetflux.com)

hi sorry, about half the posts here are spam so we had to do the manual filter. it's mainly me - will try to keep up to date.

@fluxie can you email us your profile (ICM)? support at justgetflux.com

@fluxie it is the main download now, we are slowly rolling the update.

Once you remove it, your laptop should go back to the regular color settings.

Same here~

@NinetyDruid5 if you post f.lux options > driver info sometimes we can help. This usually happens when one of your monitors is connected with an older USB adapter, but for certain kinds (DisplayLink) we can help get it working.

@herf that didn't work. I don't use usb but thunderbolt.
However, an hour ago, I updated f.lux to version 4.131 (Jan 2024) and the issue is gone! I cross my fingers.

@RVogt222 if the location is right, you should check your timezone/system clock here:

Sometimes the timezone gets set to the wrong one, and so the displayed time "looks" right but it isn't really.

@Artsem-K

this can be done by setting the "late" slider all the way to the right, or by choosing the "classic f.lux" preset. only about 10-15% of Windows machines have a light sensor... if you mean to network the smartphone so it can be used as a "nearby" light sensor? then not really, it is too difficult to do things in the background on most of them

@Girofox123 thank you - it looks like the Windows API (called "SHQueryUserNotificationState") which tells us if it is a good time to notify someone actually writes to the registry, so we have stopped doing it so much (v4.131 should have the fix). There may still be a way to trigger this in the future, but it will be rare.

@anon_a_mouse Are you running the installer each time? f.lux should not do this more than one time.

I just tested with different combinations. With only 3 monitors connected, I can't reproduce the artifacts at all.

@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.
