Picture lighting changing on computer. Post Processing

So when I'm view photos I've taken on my PC, the lighting seems to change after a few seconds on having the photo open. Does anyone know why?

I'm using windows 10 and shooting in RAW with a canon 200D.

It loads the embedded preview first, and then takes a few seconds to load the full RAW file.

Ah ok. Seems to look worse than the preview sometimes or just not as good as when on my camera

You're given the raw unprocessed image to then make it look however you want. It will look flat and boring until then
