Pink Hue Problem

Question

All my microsoft apps have a pink hue. All the "hacks" to fix it don't work ... mostly because when I follow the instructions, none of the presented options appear. There's nothing for me to click or turn on or off.

Please advise. This pink hue is EXTREMELY frustrating. I believe I have windows 10. I'm on a brand new Dell XPS 13 laptop. I don't have this pink hue issue with my Dell desktop, or with my prior Surface Pro.

I really can't tolerate this pink problem. Please advise.

Try these Windows display fixes first, since the issue appears across Microsoft apps and the closest matching guidance is a display color/profile problem rather than an app-specific setting:

1. Open Settings and go to System > Display.
2. Look for a Color Profile option.
   • If it is set to Vivid, change it to sRGB.
   • If it is set to Enhanced, change it to sRGB.

If the pink tint is related to Windows display color settings, also check these:

3. In Settings, search for calibrate display color and follow the directions.
4. In Start > Settings > System > Display > Night light settings, make sure Night light is not scheduled or enabled unexpectedly.
   • If the Night light toggle is grayed out, update the display driver.

If the color issue is accompanied by flickering or broader display instability:

5. Press Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B to reset the graphics driver.
6. Open Task Manager:
   • If Task Manager flickers too, the display driver is probably the cause.
   • If Task Manager does not flicker, an incompatible app is probably causing the problem.
7. If an app is causing it, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, uninstall the suspected app, restart, and test again.
