Windows 10: Video Colors Shifted/Offset to the right

Hi,


My videos youtube, facebook, even the test video in settings app on Windows 10 play normally at first on startup for a few hours, and then the colors suddenly become offset/shifted to the right, and there is a small vertical strip on the left of the video. I believe it's the green colour profile getting shifted - similar to the VHS glitch effect.


When the video window is not in focus say, when I open the start menu, or use snipping tool, the colors shift back to normal. Also fixes itself when HDR is on.


See below had to take a picture with my phone because screenshots render normally :




I've tried the Video Playback Troubleshooter which says everything's fine.


Running Windows 10 Pro ver. 1909 on a Lenovo Yoga C940 laptop with 4K screen.


Any ideas? Thanks.

Logitech c920 webcam video is offset to the right

Hi Ian,

This might be a driver problem since this happened after installing the latest update. To ensure that your webcam holds the latest driver, we suggest that you update it following the steps provided in

Update drivers in Windows 10.

By the way, who appears to be offset to the right? If possible, we would like to ask for a screenshot or a photo on how it appears in the Camera app or in Skype so we can further check on it.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.

 

Screen color shifts to red after login, even with night shift off

Basically, problem is:

1. Screen display is neutral pre-login
2. Login and after 15-30 seconds, screen shifts to red, like night light is on
3. night light is off in the settings, turning it on can make it even more red
4. turning night light off again removes the extra color temp but not getting rid of it all the way

I've followed a number of posts on this issue, updating windows, turning off night shift, turning back on, checking that no monitor color profiles are turned on, etc. What I have found after experimentation though is that creating a new user on the computer
and loging in as that user does not show the red shift problem, which points to something in my profile.

What I can't figure out is what is that something?

Does anyone have suggestions on fixing a broken profile or resetting the setting that controls this?

Thanks!

Reference Post, which was a different problem, but where the 'new user' suggestion was given:

Screen color temperature changes after start-up (as if Night Light is enabled, though it isn't)

 

Window background color - I don't appear to be able to do this on windows 10 as the change color scheme bit isn't there.
