If not, right click your Start Button and open Device Manager.

Expand the 'Display Adapters' section, and uninstall your graphics card.

Answer 2

The yellow tint is commonly caused by a Windows display setting rather than the call itself. Check these settings in order:

1. Turn off Night light:
   • Select Start > Settings > System > Display.
   • Under Brightness and color, turn off Night light.
   • If needed, open Night light settings and turn off Schedule night light.
2. If the screen still looks unusual, check whether Color Filters is turned on:
   • Open Start, type Color Filters, and turn it off.
3. If colors still look wrong, check Contrast Themes:
   • Open Start, type Contrast Theme.
   • Set Contrast Themes to None.

These settings can make the screen look yellow, gray, or otherwise different from the normal dark appearance.
