      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)

                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.

                                  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.

                                    sample
                                    (inserting image in post showed broken, so adding it as a link)

                                        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 > Drivers

                                            For both GPUs if possible...
