Windows 10: any information how windows color profiles works ?

I wasn't able to google anything about windows color profile, except one thread from microsoft forums of someone saying, that there is no info how color profiles works and a lot of settings is unclear. Removing default icc color profiles reduces input lag drastically !!! I had idea to make custom color profile to reduce input lag. But i can't find any info how they works. Or what cause input lag. If i remove profile i also don't know, if i am not using any profile, or default profile from advanced tab is selected instead. But it is strange, because default is icc and when i remove icc i have much less input lag, so if after removing icc, icc profile was still active there shouldn't be any difference...

Color profile

Hi,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Color calibration and others continue to be listed as a known issue on the Release information page.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/releas...

Gamma ramps, color profiles, and night light settings do not apply in some cases

Microsoft has identified some scenarios where gamma ramps, color profiles and night light settings may stop working.

Microsoft has identified some scenarios where night light settings may stop working, for example:

Connecting to (or disconnecting from) an external monitor, dock, or projector

Rotating the screen

Updating display drivers or making other display mode changes

Closing full screen applications

Applying custom color profiles

Running applications that rely on custom gamma ramps

There is no ETA provided by Microsoft to fix this. You would have to wait.

 

Screen color profile changes once a USB device is plugged.

having trouble getting HDR color profile to be used

This may be a bit obscure, but I that someone out there can suggest a fix.

See my system listing for my hardware.

My system is HDR capable, and I have turned that on in settings.

I have produced a custom color profile my calibration using an X-Rite I1Display device and their I1Profiler software.

If I select that profile as default in Color Management, the display switches to the wrong colors about 15 seconds after I log in to Windows. (I can log out of the account and log back in, to the same effect. It obviously is not connected with a cold boot.)

I can manually re-select the custom file, and that will be applied after. (Until the next login.)

I'm probably doing something idiotic, but I haven't spotted it. Any suggestions?
