Blacks and shadows are blue in develop module.

I'm using a 2016 Macbook Pro with LR 5.71 and since LR5 I have had the same problem with darks, blacks and shadows, showing as blue in the develop module. I use a Canon and shoot in RAW, so I'm trying to edit DNG files. How can I fix this? other threads say goto preferences and performance then turn off the GPU but my screen does not have a performance tab. What should I try next

DNG of the moon

Press J once or twice, or click the white triangle in the histogram top left. This is the clipping indicator.

There's nothing to fix. Highlight and shadow clipping indicators are a feature in Lightroom for you to use

Or you can adjust blacks and shadows as well as the  dark end of the tone curve until the blue disappears.
