Anyone have any idea why this is happening
It happens I think only once every single day

I have all options disabled that automatically changes the color including night light but for example,I put the laptop to sleep during the night and on the next day when I turn it on,everything is fine but if I click on the taskbar where the WIFI, speaker and the battery icons are(which brings the window with the quick actions),the windows freezes for a second(I can see that my nvidia gpu gets powered on(the light indicator changes from white to red for maybe 5-10 seconds and then goes back to white)and when that happens,I can see that the colors get changed to little on the yellow side(like I am enabling night light but I am not)

When I close the quick actions window,the colors get restored to the correct ones and do not change if I open the quick actions window....until the next day and it it happens again once

As I said,night light is disabled(including the scheduled night light)
Accent color is set to manual
Automatically manage color for apps is also disabled
The color profile I am using is set as the system default from anywhere I can think of

Out of curiosity, are you using any 3rd party app that alters the GUI?

No
I used MSI True Color before to set the color to what I want but since I saw what the program does,I saw no reason to keep it running
It creates a color profile and makes windows load it
Since the profile is already loaded and selected,I can just remove the MSI True Color and select that created profile and set it as system default from windows color management(which is what true color does)

Sorry, couple more questions. Are you running an insider version of 11 or the release version?
Is this a brand new laptop.

Here are some basic troubleshooting steps you can try.


1. Make sure you have no corrupt system files that is causing this problem. Open a command prompt as administrator and type dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
When complete run sfc /scannow
Pay attention to the scan results to see if SFC found anything it could not repair
Reference: Using System File Checker in Windows - Microsoft Support

2. Perform a clean boot to eliminate software conflict causing the issue. If it doesn't happen in a clean boot, you have some software conflicting with Windows. Brink's procedure will help you weed out which one. Perform a Clean Boot in Windows 11 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts Tutorial

3, Make sure there is no corruption issue with your user account by temporarily enabling the hidden administrator account.
1. Open command prompt as administrator and type [I]net user administrator /active:yes[/I]

Restart. You will see 2 accounts on your signin screen. Login to administrator. See if the problem exists in this account. If the problem does not exist in this account, then your problem is in YOUR user account and not windows or graphics adapter related. If the issue exists in this account as well, restart and sign into your account again, then disable the hidden account.
Open command prompt as administrator and type [I]net user administrator /active:no[/I]

Report back your findings.
