  1. Color Profiles with multiple monitors


    I have a really annoying issue with how my system handles color profiles. I have a laptop connected to two external monitors, each with their own calibrated profile. When all three are connected everything works as it should, but when I turn off the built-in display, its profile is applied to the other two, and changing the color profile in one applies the same change to the other one, making it impossible to have a different profile on each of them.

    Is there a way to fix this issue?

    Windows 10 Multiple Monitor Colours

    I haven't used that because I am using a Spyder 5 color calibrator. I has made a profile for each monitor individually and windows is loading those profiles correctly when both monitors are on. When the primary monitor is on it uses the profile from the
    other monitor. Also I have tried it multiple times, with default profiles. Re running the calibrator and multiple combinations of each. It always has the same effect. Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate any help

    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.

    Color Management of external monitor Windows 10 not permanent

    Hi Frank,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per your query, I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

    First connect the secondary monitor and then run the color calibration tool. Then with the secondary monitor connected, follow these steps:

    a) Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

    b) Change the view by option on the right top to large icons.

    c) Click on Color Management.

    d) Against device, select the secondary monitor and check, "use my settings for this device".

    e) In the bottom, highlight a profile and select "set as default profile".

    Save changes and check if the issue persists. Let us know the results for further assistance.
