Wallpapers stuck with green tint
I reinstalled windows a few weeks ago and ever since I've been getting a green tint over the wallpapers. At first I only noticed it on my second monitor which I use wallpaper engine on majority of the time. X, Y, and Z happened and just thought my second monitor was bust or something after I reinstalled windows so I moved on. But just discovered it's also on my main monitor when I was messing with some new wallpapers.

So overall recap : I reinstalled windows and now wallpaper engine wallpapers have a green tint on them.

Solutions I've attempted : Reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers, deleting and reinstalling again, intense research on google, messing with the settings of the monitor itself, reinstalling the drivers for the monitor.

Solution that kind of worked : I unplugged the HDMI and plugged it back in and most of the time the tint would go away but after a period of time the tint comes back.

Specs (just in case if they're relevant in any way) :
Motherboard : ASUS B-450F
CPU : Ryzen 5 2600
GPU : ASUS Nvidia GTX 1050ti 4GB
RAM : 16gb Vengeance LPX 3000mhz
OS : Windows 10 Home

I assume it only happens to wallpapers that have the type "video"?

Directly reset the video settings in the driver, this is the only known thing that can cause this so far.

How do I reset the drivers directly?

Click 'restore defaults' in both the video settings in the Nvidia Control Panel or try reinstalling the driver again with the option to do a 'clean install'.
Having this same problem too but my second monitor is connected to my motherboard, has intel. How do I fix this?

You have to reset the video settings in both your graphics drivers: https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/videos/artifacts.html

If you are on a desktop and you enabled the iGPU then you are causing Windows to perform less than optimal: https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/performance/dwm.html while there has never been a single report about this causing video issues, it's not impossible, because this isn't a supported use case by Nvidia and Intel, it's just being forced by your BIOS to accept both cards.
