Well, that's a new one. :) The image in screenshot is essentially a dump of what's in framebuffer. It's the same data being sent to graphics card, so what you see on the screenshot should be what the monitor outputs.

This means its a monitor/driver/software/setting/cable problem rather than something in DFU itself. I had a google around for blue tint in fullscreen and found the below.

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help unless they've had this exact issue.

Searching around, I could suggest:
Reinstall video drivers?

"Disable full-screen optimization"? (fixes a Windows 10 regression)

tnx for the answers...
i was fidling with the settings, and full screen optimization does not do much but if in the settings of the game i unclick fullscreen mode colors are good...still that is not ideal solution since i dont want to play in windowed mode
but thank you for the answers

The only version of that tool I've found is identified as ransomware by some scanners, so... be careful
