I had been using f.lux for a little while. Soon after, I decided I didn't like and tried to uninstall it. After doing so, my computer booted up and there was a brief moment of normal color, before the screen tinted yellow again. That was a week ago, and I have since made many elaborate attempts to eradicate F.lux from my system. None of them have returned my monitor colors to normal, and I have given up on removing F.lux, because I have at least managed to set my colors to daytime all the time from within F.lux.

And yet, this has not actually solved the problem. I currently have F.lux on and starting on startup. But when booting up, I still get a moment of normal color, and then it turns yellow. This is so even though F.lux is running and is set to full daytime. The only way to fix this is uninstall F.lux, restart, and re-install F.lux. I would very much like to have my normal colors back without this constant hassle, whether that means leaving F.lux on or uninstalling it some other way.

I've followed the troubleshooting process mentioned in the FAQ under "I uninstalled f.lux and my computer is still orange, what gives?", by setting every time to the daylight preset and leaving the pc on for a period of 24 hours, but this has not resolved the issue. As it stands, the display looks correct, but this requires me to reinstall f.lux every time I start the computer.

Does anyone have any experience with this or any suggestions on how to solve it?

Are you using windows 10? It might not be f.lux but windows night light activating and installing f.lux overrides this setting temporarily. Check if night light in the windows settings is turned off.
