Windows 10: Color Management Profile keeps randomly changing.

Hello,After using the Color Management calibration to set a display profile for myself, I found settings that I prefer. However, on many occassions, when I use a program, the display suddenly shifts back to a default display which comparatively is much darker. This stays like this until I go back to Color Management and click "Reset Current Calibration." I have tried to set my profile as default, but Windows seems to refuse to acknowledge that and keeps constantly switching back.

Screen color profile changes once a USB device is plugged.

Cannot change color profile for display no 2

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Windows 10 requires the correct color profile to make sure your device shows colors as accurately as possible. Only when the correct profile is installed on your computer for an image device will you experience color accuracy
as intended by the company that designed that device. If colors don't render correctly on your display, chances are that's not due to a problem with the monitor. For us to help you with your concern, kindly answer the following questions:

• What is the current build and version of your Windows 10? To check type in
  winver on the search bar and press Enter.
• Have you gone to the manufacturer's website to download the most updated monitor driver?
  (Note: Kindly get the monitor driver, not the video driver.)

Meanwhile, we suggest that you check
LG's website and download the driver for your monitor. Kindly use the .icm file on the
Change advanced color management settings for displays, scanners using search.

We'll be waiting for your reply.
