If using custom gamma settings or using an application that automatically changes gamma (e.g. redshift) then at specific times, your gamma setting may reset for a short time.
To fix this, open the registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/
Inside the newly created "X11 Driver" add the chain value "UseXVidMode" and set it to "N".
