The other day I noticed my Windows 11 desktop had a red tint to it. After a bunch of reading and experimenting, I discover that the Windows nightlight feature seems to have permanently altered my colors – even after a shutdown/startup. To resolve this I ended up doing a ‘full’ shutdown and reboot (by default Windows does a quick shutdown which causes the system to not fully initialize). If you are having this problem, just do the following:
cmd
> Click Command Prompt
.shutdown /r /t 0
Since I kept having problems with this I went ahead and disable night light altogether (Windows button > Night Light) and just installed f.lux instead.
