Cannot open... !

@La_Nicci Can you see which version you have? Spotlight will tell you or you can do Cmd-I on Flux.app.

La_Nicci

I do not know if that is what you mean. It says version 39.983.

Oh, if the icon appears you can access f.lux by clicking the icon, no need to run the app again:

Morning Herf
That is the very problem. If I click on the icon nothing happens.

@La_Nicci can you post a screenshot of what you're clicking? I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing.

La_Nicci

@lorna I think it is not my lucky day. Now I can't copy the pic form my notebook in the post. C&P does not work, just url allowed.
Greetings from a stupid girl, hahah :-)

... but the icon that you have as an avatar, Lorna, is visible on my sidebar.

I'm having the same problem on Windows 10. I click on the icon and it doesn't open. It doesn't appear in the task bar and it's not running in task manager.

Yes, it's weird. The application shows up in the task manager and in the listed software. But nothing happens. Unfortunately I could not check last night if flux dimmed the light at night (was not on the notebook). Did you check that already?

@La_Nicci For Preferences you will want to click a black and white icon at the very top of your screen. Also, it might be a good time to reboot your computer!

@colt1855 Please check if you are running an antivirus program, it may need updated definitions. Also, try the version at https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/3675/f-lux-beta-for-windows and let me know if the Windows beta does any better.

Hi Lorna
The antivirus programme should be ok.
But why Windows? I have a Macbook.

colt1855

@lorna I uninstalled my antivirus and installed a completely different one, which I have been thinking of doing anyway, and I now have the icon in the task bar and it opens the controls when I click on it. Thank you!

La_Nicci

Colt, which one did you install then?

colt1855

@La_Nicci AVG

Thanks, Colt1855
