Windows 10: Color profile not working on second screen only mode

I have previously calibrated my monitor and made a custom color profile out of it. The problem is in the windows color management settings, the profile does not change anything when I use the "second screen only" mode. When I changed to "extend" mode, the custom profile now made a difference when loaded. Anyone got any suggestions for this problem?

HDR mode and color profiles

Hello

I have a calibrated ICC profile for normal sRGB mode. When i switch to HDR mode, it still using the calibrated profile, and giving weird colors and white balance.

I have tried to add a Rec.2020 HDR profile to ICC-profile (Advance color) list in color management. But I can´t use it at standard colors in HDR mode. Nothing happens when i try to applied it.

So to be clear:

In normal mode I want to use calibrated icc profile for sRGB.

And in HDR mode, using the standard REC.2020 icc profile.

 

Color profile

Hi,

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.
