Only Edge and Chrome look yellow?
Since a Windows update at the end of September 2026, people on Microsoft Q&A report a yellow page in Edge and Chrome; Microsoft has not confirmed this as a bug.
The fix given in that thread: type edge://flags (or chrome://flags) in the address bar, set Force color profile to sRGB and restart the browser.
On our Cloud PC the list offers Default, sRGB, Display P3 D65, ITU-R BT.2020, Color spin with gamma 2.4, scRGB linear (HDR where available) and HDR10 (HDR where available).
Done

If you do not see this option

No Night light row, or it is greyed out Microsoft says Night light is not available with certain drivers, such as DisplayLink or Basic Display. If the switch is greyed out, it says to update the display driver.

No Turn off now button Night light is already off: the button then reads Turn on now, as on our Cloud PC after turning it off.
Your PC runs Windows 10 Microsoft says colour filters are under Settings, Ease of Access, Color filters there, and under Color & high contrast on earlier versions of Windows 10.

If this does not work

Colours still look wrong everywhere Microsoft says Automatically manage color for apps, under Settings, System, Display, Color profile, keeps colours accurate on supported displays. Check it there, with the colour profile. Sources: Change display brightness and color in Windows, Use color filters in Windows, yellow page color on browsers after latest windows update
Colours went wrong after a colour profile was added Microsoft says to open Settings, System, Display, Color profile and select the display. Expand the profile and click Remove, or choose another profile and click Set profile to make it the default.

Using a Cloud PC or remote session On our Cloud PC the Night light tint did not come through the remote connection even with Night light On, so check the switch rather than the colours you see.

About this guide

Two Windows settings change the colours of the whole screen: Night light makes it warmer, and colour filters change or invert the colours. Both can be switched on by a schedule or a shortcut without you noticing. If only browser windows look yellow after an update, see the last step.

The screenshots are our own, taken on Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2 running as a Microsoft Cloud PC, a Windows PC that runs in the cloud.

Good to know

If the colours are wrong everywhere and neither setting is on, check the monitor's own menu and the colour profile: the Color filters page links to Customizing color profiles for displays.

Using Night light on purpose: how to turn on Night light on Windows 11.

In short: Yellow: Settings, System, Display, Night light, Turn off now, then check Schedule night light. Odd colours: Settings, Accessibility, Color filters, Off. Check the keyboard shortcut for color filters too.
