Last night it was working well, but then I went to display settings to check what the resolution setting was on my main monitor, and when I opened up display settings, f.lux quit working for the main monitor, but kept working for the second one. And, since I posted the problem to the forum, I've been paying more attention. I'm pretty sure f.lux does operate correctly in the evenings and into the night, but sometimes when I wake up the computer in the morning it's not working properly. So, there's probably a lot of junk and it could benefit from a clean reinstall. She ran Windows XP on it for years before its end of support, then upgraded to Windows 7, then to Windows 10 when support ended for 7. It was my wife's computer and she's a gamer, so it had high specifications for the time. I mentioned this is an older computer in fact I'm pretty sure it's 13 or 14 years old now. If nobody else is having this problem, maybe it's just some other software interfering with the proper operation. One other problem I had: once, recently, I went into f.lux and activated the "test" button, and it wasn't any kind of normal test! The screen went all crazy, flickering all different colors so abruptly I was worried that it was going to damage my monitors, and I had to quickly quit f.lux to stop it. and the screen is gradually shifting to daytime colors. Now, as I finish typing this, it is 6:08 a.m. This morning, I started reading things on the computer early, and the screen seemed too blue, but I just kept using it, and eventually, at 5:39 a.m., the screen abruptly shifted to a redder color ( the night-time color that it should have had at all night-time hours). I don't know if f.lux works properly when I work late at night. It shouldn't shift abruptly anyway, I thought I had set it to shift gradually, and indeed it does shift gradually back to daytime colors at my wake time. Then, less than an hour before the screen is supposed to start transitioning to its daytime colors, it suddenly abruptly shifts to the warmer night-time color that it should have had to start with. I either turn the computer back off and do something else, or just deal with it and try not to put anything white up on the screen. The main problem now is when I turn on my computer very early in the morning, the screen color doesn't change to a redder color, it stays the default color temperature and it's very annoying. Probably because I was playing with settings again trying to get f.lux to work. I went into the registry and edited the value to make it 6:20 again. This is already an annoyance, since I want it to stay at 6:20. It's always been set at 6:20 a.m., but when I adjust it with the newer version of the software, it only lets me set it in 15 minute increments. I had temporarily changed my "earliest wake time" setting, and then noticed I couldn't change it back to what it was before. It's on an older computer, started with an older version of f.lux on Windows 7, but things have been updated, and it was all working properly until recently when I changed some settings. I have f.lux version 4.119 running on Windows 10.
