Windows 10: Color profile issues?

I had to do a clean wipe of my Windows 10, which means I lost my last calibrated profile. Been trying to recalibrate but my colors all seem dull, and greys are either too purple or yellow.
My question is, when I go to settings - display, and change my calibrated profiles there, nothing happens at all (unless I just recalibrated it- so seeing last calibrations isn’t loading any change). Aren’t I suppose to see a difference? What then could be messing with my color settings? I’ve disabled fast startup, but I seem to be able to adjust it once it boots up, but then I can’t after that. Any help is appreciated!

Specs: BenQ SW2700 monitor I1 Display Pro 2 calibrator

Tried: Adobe 1998 d65-d50, 2.2 gamma and 120-180 luminance (because the screen is dull and not bright at all).

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?
