    Windows colour profile problems


    I have 2 Win10 Pcs, both with the same model of Dell monitor. One is calibrated with the LUT in the monitor, and one with an ICC profile (defunct USB hub, so no access to the LUT) .

    Both PCs have the same wallpaper picture, one of mine.

    The wallpaper looked the same as the same picture viewed in Photoshop, and other photo display and editing programs.

    But both have now changed, one a month or so ago and the other just 2 days ago.

    The picture still looks correct in Photoshop, but now looks too red as wallpaper and in the Windows photo viewing programs, and Firefox.

    This colour shift does not seem to affect any other aspect of application appearance.


    When the first PC changed I assumed it was the monitor calibration (ICC), so I re calibrated the monitor with my ColorMonkey. This had no effect.

    Now the other PC has changed in the same way. I at first thought my monitor backlights must be failing, but as Photoshop still displays the correct colours it must be a fault with Windows.

    Windows is still using the same Dell monitor profile, and apart from the re calibration I have not changed anything.


    What is going on, and can I stop it?

    :)

  2. Prompts and notifications are inverting colours (Problem)


    Hi all,
    When I click out of an important windows dialog box or receive notifications in the tray my screen colours invert for a short second then return to normal.

    I have f.lux installed since I work/study/play games at night. Could this be the problem? I have set my colour profile back to default settings too.

    All suggestions welcome.
    Thanks.

    Windows colour profile problems

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild


    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Windows colour profile problems :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
