My problem: My working surface is yellow-ish. All colours appear to be more yellow-ish than they should be as you can see in the pictures below.
When i export the picture it is normal again (not yellow-ish anymore).
Also the pictures in the preview are in the original colours (not yellow-ish).
As you can see it's yellow-ish just in the working surface.
These are my colour settings ... well in german. Also i don't use the view of a proof.
Maybe some of you have a clue for me.
Thanks in anticipation!

That's a broken monitor profile. If you have a calibrator, rerun it. If not, get one.
In the meantime you can use sRGB as monitor profile as a temporary fix. It won't be accurate, but better than a broken profile.
Save For Web at default settings has all color management turned off, and the monitor profile is ignored. If you enable it by checking "embed profile" and set Preview to "use document profile", it will use the monitor profile to display, and match Photoshop.
In the same way, your photo viewer used to view the exported file is probably not color managed either.
Don't change anything in color settings! That's not where the problem is.
Hi, in case anyone else has this issue heres a bit more detail:
Display profile issues on Windows
At least once a week on this forum we read about this, or very similar issues of appearance differing between applications.
Unfortunately, with Microsoft hardware: Windows updates, Graphics Card updates and Display manufacturers have a frustratingly growing reputation for installing useless (corrupted) monitor display profiles.
I CAN happen with Macs but with far less likelyhood, it seems.
The issue can affect different applications in different ways, some not at all, some very badly.
The poor monitor display profile issue is hidden by some applications, specifically those that do not use colour management, such as Microsoft Windows "Photos".
Photoshop is correct, it’s the industry standard for viewing images, in my experience it's revealing an issue with the Monitor Display profile rather that causing it. Whatever you do, don't ignore it. As the issue isn’t caused by Photoshop, don’t change your Photoshop ‘color settings’ to try fix it.
If you want to rule out pretty much the only issue we ever see with Photoshop, you can reset preferences, I never read of a preferences issue causing this problem though:
To reset the preferences in Photoshop:
https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html
Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings
To find out if this is the issue, I recommend you to try setting the monitor profile for your own monitor display under “Device” in your Windows ‘color management’ control panel to sRGB. You can ADD sRGB if its not already listed.
And be sure to check “Use my settings for this device”.
(OR, if you have a wide gamut monitor display (check the spec online) it’s better to try Adobe RGB instead).
Quit and relaunch Photoshop after the control panel change, to ensure the new settings are applied.
If this change fixes the issue, it is recommended that you should now calibrate and profile the monitor properly using a calibration sensor like i1display pro, which will create and install it's own custom monitor profile. The software should install it’s profile correctly so there should be no need to manual set the control panel once you are doing this right.
Depending on the characteristics of your monitor display and your requirements, using sRGB or Adobe RGB here may be good enough - but custom calibration is a superior approach.
I hope this helps
if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution
thanks
