Windows 10: Colour Calibration Problem

Hello,


I have a dual monitor setup, with mismatched monitors. They are not auto-adjusting. Last time I successfully calibrated my displays was about a year ago, and I still have the same hardware, which is a custom build. It includes a Gigabyte motherboard, AMD FX 6300 6-core processor, and an NVIDIA Geforce 660 graphics card. I am on Windows 10.


I have updated my graphics drivers and restarted my computer. I have tried launching in administrative mode.


Now when I try to use the Display Color Calibration it only previews the present set of changes for a flash before reverting the display to what it was, while I am performing the calibration. Ie, when I slide the blue gamma adjustment slider, it will show me the change while it is moving, but if I stop moving or let go of the click the display goes back to what it was, while the indicator stays in place. It is impossible to fine-tune the colour portion of the calibration with this happening. This happens on both monitors. This makes me feel like I have self-correcting monitors, but I know I do not, as I didn't have this problem last year.

Any suggestions on where the problem might be?

Thanks

:)

 

Fall Creators Update Colour Calibration Issue


Hello folks, first post on here.

My problem is the Fall Creators Update seems to have an issue with colour calibration - I have quite an old calibration tool by modern standards which is a Pantone Huey Pro, but it's worked perfectly from Windows 7 until the FC Update. Now the ICC profile won't stick and the screen is very bright with a magenta cast. I see other people are having problems with colour calibration with this update.

I've gone into Task Scheduler and tried disabling the Calibration Loader in 'Windows Colour System', then gone through the calibration procedure again as other forum posts have suggested, and all looks good until the moment comes to save the profile and exit the calibration procedure, then Windows reverts to the bright screen with magenta cast and loses the calibrated settings.

I'm a photographer so I'll need to get this sorted otherwise I can't accurately edit my photos. I've previously rolled back Windows but within days the FC Update forcibly installs again. Very frustrating!

Can anyone help me please?

Colour Calibration

Hi Susan,

What's the exact HP model you have? I'll research the model and find you the instructions we need to get the colour calibration done.

Let me know!

Windows 10 Display/Screen colour calibration problem

Thank you Vanessa,

In the end a very kind MS technician looked into my computer using remote control and he was unable to fix the problem and recommended that I do a System Restore.

I did this and the colour problem has disappeared and the screen display colours are back to "normal."

It is a real mystery why the colour distortion happened and also why re-setting Display/Colour calibration didn't work ????

Thanks for your reply - much appreciated
