Windows 10: can't run Display color calibration

Hi,
All my efforts to run monitor calibration using windows10 color management method failed. All I get is the attached error windows stating: "Display color calibration can't calibrate the selected display because the display is "mirrored"

How do cancel this mirroring effect or' alternatively' how do I enable calibration?

:)

 

Display Color Calibration

Hi again, Jelo San,

Thank you for trying to help me with the calibration problem.

First I did the Color Management part, and could not select the "Set as default profile" because that was greyed. I rebooted and tried to calibrate the screen and got the following message:

"Display Color Calibration can't turn off Windows calibration management. Element not found".

Then, I tried uninstalling the driver and rebooting. Got following message:

Display Color Calibration can't save the new calibration. Close other programs that are open, and then try again.

Element not found.

There were no other programs open...

At this point I am about to give up.

Thanks again for your help.

Valerie

 

lost red color on my computer monitor

Hi Yanjun,

Color calibration is something the operating system can't accurately do automatically. To make sure that your monitor is set to display the most accurate colors, you may use the built-in Display Color Calibration utility. Here's how:

• Go to Settings > System > Display.
  
• Scroll down to the very bottom, then click Display adapter properties.
• Select the Color Management tab, then click Color Management (...).
• Select the Advanced tab then click Calibrate display.
• This will start the Display Color Calibration wizard. If you are new to calibrating your monitor’s color, click the
  How do I calibrate my display? link for more information.
• Click Next to begin adjustment.
• The wizard will now walk you through the steps to access the on-screen display menu on your monitor to set specific color settings.
  

Remember that changes made through the display menu will be kept even if you click
Cancel. However, if you're not happy with the new settings, you can revert the changes manually, or reset your display to the default settings.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Your System Specs don't contain much information so the question would be, Do you have 2 or more monitors connected to the computer?

 

Hi,
My computer is connect to a pc monitor and to a smart tv.

 

Try the process again but with the TV disconnected. Adjustments sometimes only work with the default hardware setup.

 

Thanks Berton. You're right. My problem stemmed for the multiple screen choice.

 

You're welcome. Things seem to go better when locating when a problem happens and what occurred at the time.
