Why Does My Surface Laptop Have a Yellow Screen?

Alright, so dealing with a yellow-tinted screen on your Surface Laptop isn’t exactly thrilling. Let’s dive into how we can fix this up:

First off, do yourself a favor and turn off the Night Light. Head to Settings, then System, and Display. Make sure that Night Light thing is shut off.

Now, moving along, it might be worth playing around with the display colors. In the Control Panel, find Color Management and hit the Advanced tab. Calibrate Display is your buddy here—just follow the steps they lay out for you.

Here’s the kicker: outdated drivers can mess with your display. Pop open Device Manager, expand those Display adapters, and give your display driver a right-click. You’ll want to hit Update driver and let those automatic updates do their thing.

While we’re at it, check for any system updates lurking around. This is key! Go over to Settings, tap on Update & Security, and then Windows Update. If there are updates waiting, snag them.

Okay, let’s talk about any third-party software that might be messing with your screen colors. If you’ve got something like f.lux hanging around, consider disabling or uninstalling it.

If things are still acting up, a hard reset might do the trick. Turn off your Surface Laptop, hold the power button down for roughly 20 seconds, and let it reboot.

But honestly, if you notice some physical damage on your screen, it might be hardware-related and you’ll want to call in the pros. It’s always best to get it checked out.

And last, but certainly not least—if everything else falls flat, holler at Microsoft Support. They’re there to give you a hand, or at least point you toward more service options.

There you have it—hopefully one of these tricks will clear up that pesky yellow screen on your laptop!
