Night Shift not working on 2018 Mac Mini with macOS 10.15.2

Have a 2018 mac mini with macOS 10.15.2. The monitor is connected via a Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable, and works well. Except for Night Shift. I can enable it, but it isn't working. Moving the slider has no effect. This seems like a pretty significant oversight, or I'm missing something (very likely).

Is there anything I can do to get Night Shift working? I'm using f.lux in the interim, but I'd like the built-in facility for this to work. The monitor is a Dell U2415, if that makes any difference.

Hello,

Lets try this, create a new administrative user account within System Preferences > Users. Sign out of your primary account and sign into your new user account. Attempt to use Night Shift. If it works than there is a software conflict on your primary user account. If this does not work then it sounds like there might be an operating system problem which would require you to reinstall macOS.

In-between zmclearan’s excellent advice to try a new user account and then reinstalling macOS.
