      Yea, those are the steps i'm doing with the same software/drivers.

      On test 1 If I stay in the same window, the color stays as daylight. It is only back to normal (as set by the schedule) after I change to another window. Changing between tabs in a browser does not trigger f.lux to fix the color. The color is fixed at once, not slowly.

      On test 2 when i wake it up the colors are preserved on the login screen but as soon as i click sign-in it blinks to daylight colors and back to the previous one.

        If I do same thing on my end, I can open flux so I see flux window and slider at 3K value.
        Let it sleep for 1 min, move mouse so it wakes.
        Slider is at 3K and says 3000 value but screen is daylight and then if I click taskbar or flux icon it then goes to 3000

        That is with nothing running, but if i do have browser open, same thing.

        Edit I can't do sleep/hibernation from start as I have them disabled with powercfg.exe, so I can't run test 2, all my comments are with monitor/display sleeping.

        Edit2: are you using a color profile for display? , or you have all defaults.
        Win10 >all settings>display>display adapter properties> click color management and I use a ICC profile (dell2007FP) for my Dell monitor.
        In that window I have enabled checkmark "use my settings for this device"

          Thanks,
          I have it failing now - turns out I had to turn off the login screen on wake, or it would hide the problem.

            @Edkiefer I have a custom .icc profile for my Dell as well but i already tried with the default one and the problem persists.

            @herf So you finally reproduced the issue on your end?

              Good, At first I thought it maybe one of settings, but tried all , on/off with same results.

              I login with admin, so i never see that screen (except for sec on boot)

                Apparently finding out that a monitor has slept is one of the unsolved problems in Windows. I made a workaround for this case here:

                https://justgetflux.com/flux-setup4-35.exe

                See if it works?

                  Need more testing, but after reboot it seems so far to work (2 times so far pass).

                    Yep, it's fixed! In both Tests, all good now.

                    Thanks

                        I updated to 4.35 and the issue was fixed only if my monitor turns off as a result of power option being triggered (ex: "turn off the display" after 1 minute idle).

                        If the display turns off when I close and open my laptop lid, the issue remains, exactly like @disqQ 's description on test 1:

                        On test 1 If I stay in the same window, the color stays as daylight. It is only back to normal (as set by the schedule) after I change to another window. Changing between tabs in a browser does not trigger f.lux to fix the color. The color is fixed at once, not slowly.

                        Thanks.

                        I am using Win10 Pro with Intel HD Graphics 4400.

                          This has started happening to me since a recent Windows 10 update (I think).

                          When my monitor switches back on after me being idle, f.lux is not working. I have to alt+page up/down to get it to activate again.

                          I'm using f.lux 4.120.

                            Can you post f.lux options > driver info?
