Windows 10: Color Profile Settings Change On Their Own

I created a custom ICC profile for my monitor, but it doesn't stay applied when I reboot. I have to go into my display settings each time to correct it. I don't have to actually change the profile in the settings, just the act of opening the settings window makes it correct itself. It'll also occasionally start using the incorrect colors on it's own after I've already booted windows and corrected it the initial time. And the same process of just opening the display settings window makes it correct itself. Have tried a couple things I've found here, but nothing has corrected it. Been a while si

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.
