So after decorating my man cave my pc has been out of action for almost a month, i set it up at the same time as installing my new 1080ti, on turning on windows got the latest update.... and the screen was a horrible yellow.

i tried changing the settings on my tv (messing up my previously calibrated settings)
i tried multiple cables
i reinstalled display drivers.

nothing!. I was beginning to worry either my tv had an issue - seemed unlikley though as ps4 and actual tv seemed ok, or it was a problem with my GPU.

I knew about the new eye saving "night time" mode in windows, however i checked and this was off.

in desperation i turned ON night saving mode and, that did it, everything was fine. clicked it a few times, the screen went black and then when it came back the switch had sorted itself out so now it works correctly.

but what a faff!. is it too much to ask that is something tells me it is off, it should be off!. (it makes me question all the other crap which i have supposedly turned off!).

**that aside, who uses this anyway? the yellow tint is utterly horrible... and even if it isnt, then isnt it just as easy to put your tv display into a "warm" colour gradient.**

rant over.... :)

**I was not entirely serious with this part, i was just a little irked after wasting my time.

Good to reduce strain on your eyes when it's dark, gets rid of blue-light.

F.lux is used by quite a lot of people, didn't know windows had something built in.
 
i think it is new to the recent update. either way however i honestly do not mind that it is there, more annoyed that it came on without warning me and that it was showing up as off.

could you imagine if another feature had that bug (showing as off when it is really on) such as a web cam or microphone.
