Windows 10: NOTEPAD changed the color/tempature of the display

So this issue has cropped up in the past. I had to wipe the system to get this taken care of. I want to know how to fix it without taking drastic measures. I heard mention that it's an outdated display driver well I highly doubt that since I just removed all display drivers and reinstalled all current NVIDIA drivers. I have no clue what causes this. I uninstalled Microsoft word and other documents that this was happening on and so far all I have left is notepad. I would say it's almost like a greenish shift in color. It's definitely not an EYE rest setting as I have looked into that and the color change is a complete removal of blue light and looks different from the shift caused by the NOTEPAD or TXT document.


EDIT: let me also add this, If I keep the NOTEPAD DOC up for too long then the shift is permanent and I have to restart to get the color settings to go back to normal.


Windows 10 64bit (Up to date as of today)
