        What monitor do you have? What is the version of your video card drivers? Sometimes Windows updates to older drivers, unfortunately, and we have seen older drivers eat up color profiles until a new one is installed.

        I would recommend first checking task manager to ensure there is no version of f.lux running.
        Open the task manager, click the "Processes" tab, and look for a f.lux process. You can force quit it.

        Next, install a new color profile for your monitor. http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-install-color-profile

              there is one problem .it's not a color problem i wish it was it's just that .you know how flux works with the day cycle right it's that it's like flux is working in the background of everything or just in another program .i couldn't find the flux icc color profile ,or anything that relat's to it .i will keep trying with quick gamma i will update you if i find anything .

              THANKS

                @arabiang4mer If you have verified that f.lux is not running you must open up the Processes tab to see it in Task Manager, then your video card has absorbed the f.lux profile and pulls it out randomly.

                This happens when your system does not have an existing profile - you don't need to have one perfectly calibrated for your specific monitor, you just need one that was not written by f.lux.

                Could you tell us your system information including video driver version?

                    Hi. go to display settings in windows 10 and turn off night mode! the problem was with windows, not f.lux.

                          I had the same issue and the instructions above and in the FAQ section didn't help.
                          For me it turned out to be an issue with some preinstalled Lenovo software, here's a guide to correcting it.

                                  @lorna "First thing to do: update your video drivers."

                                  Thanks, that fixed it.

                                  Shortcut key: Ctrl + Shift + Win + B

                                  That will reset your video driver.
