Windows 10: Colormunki Display Problems

Hey folks, just updated to Windows 10 and the only software not working correctly is my monitor calibrator. If I do the full monitor calibration process through the software, it works fine, but the ambient monitoring function which should notify or alter the monitor brightness does nothing?? Even if I right click on the tray icon and select 'ambient monitoring', it goes through the process but nothing changes.

Can anyone help in any way? Being a photographer this is make or break to whether I keep Windows 10 which I actually really like!

Many thanks, Brian

display calibration error

I suddenly began having a problem calibrating my monitor with ColorMunki Display. The problem appeared to begin after the latest Windows 10 update. I tried many things to try to fix the problem, to no avail. The simple fix recommended by Blecompte and
Everyday Everything solved the problem!!

 

Colors washed out after Windows 10 Creators Update.

Did you read all my post?

I have a very high spec PC and my two Dell monitors (each is a different model) are calibrated using a professional X-Rite ColorMunki calibration device.

All I want is for the PC to retain the calibrated settings made by the X-Rite ColorMunki calibration device just like it used to before the update.

The only solution I have found is to roll back the update and permanently hide it using a tool provided by Microsoft

 

I have had a Xrite i1 Display2 for a number of years but Xrite has never updated the software or drivers ( that's what you get for buying a closeout deal on Amazon *Smile ) but BlueEye Pro and other software worked fine under Win7 , upgrading to Win 10 meant that that software wouldn't work properly either ( I don't use the ambient feature though) but recently I found DisplayCal, and I am impressed , it is OpenSource Donation-ware , but I feel like it is what Xrite's gimped software should always have been.

Just be sure read the FAQ and to follow the instructions to load the Argyll Drivers , so your device is recognized in DisplayCal if needed

That's great, thank you! I'll give this a look tonight and see how it goes.

This problem really should have an easy fix but even Xrite themselves appeared clueless when I contacted them. I'd really like to know what is stopping the ambient measuring feature from working!!! It worked flawlessly on Windows 7 :-(

 

Many thanks Kbird! Problem solved thanks to displaycal! Pretty impressive piece of software.

 

Yes I am impressed too , only wish I had known about it before the Win10 issues.....

 

Xrite claims that software version 1.1.1 for the ColorMunki Display was tested to work under Win 10, both x86 and x64.

Any comments?

 

I think for Smiddit , it was only the ambient light feature not working but my i1 Display2 is much older , latest available version iMatch software is 3.6 and you need latest 7.0 to work in Win10 but DisplayCal works nicely , give it a try it is freeware, donate if you like it after testing. It is very through .
