Windows 10 Anniversary Flicker Fix
-
Hi everybody!
I was just about to post a last-ditch panic post here to try to get f.lux working again. Since taking the most recent Win10 update (showing up as "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB3176495)" in update history), f.lux was disengaging in all web browsers, especially Chrome 52, when not hovering over a link, then reengaging when I clicked a link. By uninstalling that update, it seems to have resolved the issue. Hope this helps somebody else!
-
Same exact problem with the same windows update here. Seems to auto-disable or flicker in browsers - I only used Chrome. Uninstalled one of my favorite programs for now.
-
Try uninstalling the update (Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall Updates)
-
Downloading it now.
-
Ok KB3176495 working here on the Surface Pro 3 - please post your hardware info?
-
Lenovo Yoga 700-14ISK. I think it might have something to do with the discrete graphics chip?
-
@xanderer yes it would make sense. is it "fixing" the problem after a second or two, or just disabling the colors for one GPU entirely?
-
Lenovo Y700-15 here, with discrete graphics as well - GTX960M.
-
I'm not sure how to tell. Removing the update seemed to put everything back to normal functionality.
-
Ok I meant: when the problem happened, did it seem to "fix itself" within a second or two, or was f.lux disabled for >5 seconds at a time?
-
Reinstalling now, but what I had was that f.lux was working when I didn't have a browser up. When the browser was up, moving the mouse over the browser window would disable f.lux.
-
@badpanda ok it sounds like maybe the NVIDIA card is not accepting color profiles at all.
-
Having the mouse focused on a non-active element in the browser window disabled flux. When I hovered over a link or something in the menu, it kicked back in and remained on for about 3 seconds.
-
Got it, will bug some people. :)
-
It was awful! Two agonising days of blue! The horrors! :D
In all seriousness, I didn't realise how much I relied on f.lux until it was in and out.
-
Here is what is happening with me. It's instant. Moving the mouse over the browser window would disable for that window.

thanks - this helps a lot!
-
That's identical to my issue.
-
The KB3176495 update is only showing up as a Security Update on my comp, Lenovo Yoga 700-14ISK. I uninstalled it, but it didn't fix the flicker. I can't see any other updates either. Does anyone have ideas as to what to do next?
-
Can anyone post graphics driver info?
Device Manager > Display Adapters > DriversFor both GPUs if possible...
