Windows 10: Color Profile Resets on Reboot

Custom Color Profile lost on startup


Hello All,

I have created a color profile using a colorimeter which I then set as default. However whenever I restart my laptop the profile reverts to the original Windows default. It's strange, because upon startup the screen is using my custom profile but it reverts to the Windows default when startup is complete. I then go into Color Management to reset it and the profile is missing from the "Profiles associated with this device" list. I have to click on the "Add..." button and select it from the "Associate Color Profile" list and then reset it again as default.

I am using a Spyder2Pro to calibrate my monitor.

 

Windows color profile won't "stick". It resets no matter how much I click "Make Default"

My default color calibration for Win 10 is washed out. (Gamma setting I think.) I don't know why that is nor why it seems to be the unrelenting default color profile that windows resets to no matter what. I've tried to set different color profiles
in the Color Management menu as the 'default profile,' but no matter what I set as the default, it will always reset it to the default washed out one upon closing the Color Management window.

I also tried going into "Change System Defaults" under Advanced tab and making the new profile the system-wide default. It still goes back to the washed-out profile after closing the Color Management window.

I'm irritated that windows ignores my settings and circumvents to this weird washed out default no matter what I try, is there any way to fix this?

A previous fix to someone else from Microsoft did not help.

To address your concern, we suggest installing the driver in compatibility mode. Here are the steps you can follow:

• Download the latest display driver from the manufacturer's website and save it on your local disk.
• Right-click on the setup file and select Properties.
• Select Compatibility tab.
• Under Compatibility mode, click the check box, then select the latest Windows version from the drop down list.
• Once the driver is installed, check the functionality.

Let us know how it goes."

Hi Daniel,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



You may try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Search for ‘Task Scheduler’ from the start menu.
  
• Navigate to the following location:
  
  Microsoft\Windows\WindowsColorSystem
  
• Locate a task called ‘Calibration Loader’.
  
• Right click ‘Calibration Loader’ and select ‘Properties’.
  
• Go to the ‘triggers’ tab, disable ‘At Logon’
  and ‘On Connection to user session’ by unchecking ‘Enabled’ box.
  
• Close ‘Task Scheduler’, set color profile and check if the issue persists.
  

Hope it helps.
