Hello everyone!

UPDATE: A software called f.lux was blocking it!

I bought a BenQ G2250 Monitor, but my wallpaper looks so much darker than on my other monitor, and webpages are too bright. I tried changing the display settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness) and it still hurts my eyes and gives me headaches. I wanted to change the saturation and hue, but it doesn't let me(it's grayed out).

Also it's very hard to change it with the buttons located on the monitor, the one who designed it should be fired...Anyways!

What came to my mind next is let's try to change it with a software. I tried calibrating through window's default software for calibration, tried changing display settings through NVIDIA control panel, as well as through a software called 'Gamma Panel' , but the display settings only change for a second, then change back. Never ever had this issue in my life, and couldn't find anything online.

Windows 10 Home 64bit
Connected through a VGA cable to my video card.

I thought that my anti-virus might be blocking it, but that sounds stupid.
