Windows 10: Creators update- games ignore nvidia ctrl panel color profile

Hey,

Need help with this asap because I am running out of ideas.

So I have this weird bug which I've posted to all kind of reddits but I mostly didn't get any response.

I am manually adjusting colors with nvidia control panel since stock colors on TN panels sucks.

Since creators update, when I run fullscreen game, my colors revert to stock ones and even my desktop picks
it up when I exit or alt tab. I can only fix it with changing resolution or something signal related back and forth or with restarting pc.

Desktop and everything is fine. It only happens when I run games in fullscreen.

Things I've tried:

• 3 times reinstalled creators update including clean install once !
• Sfc/scannow, dism scanhealth/checkhealth show no errors
• Disk cleanup
• Different drivers, currently on latest one.
• Night mode on/off
• Game mode on/off
• Unpluging monitor
• removing profiles in color management from display properties

I am using xl2411 zowie TN panel 144 hz connected with Dual Dvi.
Single monitor.

:)

 

icc color profile resetting in Win 10

This is incredibly irritating. Looked for a fix everywhere, but nothing. I can't even download the solution with the third party program "Color Profile Keeper" because the website is down.

Apparently a fix is coming but who knows how long that's going to take before we get to enjoy it.

"We fixed an issue resulting in color profiles being ignored after launching certain fullscreen games."

Also this appears to be a really old issue with nvidia or game developers not understanding the correct use for color profiles?

Colors washed out after Windows 10 Creators Update.

Yes, several horrible display issues following creators fall update. Most noticeably my colors were incorrect - a huge deal for me with a photography hobby.

I run an nvidia graphics card and using the nvidia control panel under Adjust Desktop Color Settings I set "Choose how color is set" to "Use Nvidia Settings" (away from "Other applications control color settings".

That fixed things for me but really MS - messing with my color profiles like this is a huge mistake.

I couldn't find the Display Adapter -> Color Management options described above, even after looking for 10 minutes or so before I came across the nvidia control panel solution.

Another issue I notice is some icons in Universal Apps are no longer smoothed/anti-aliased correctly (Skype for example).

 

I had the same issue, here's how I fixed it.
1. Download Color Profile Keeper - CPKeeper (Color Profile Keeper)
2. Set the options in the NVidia CP how you want them
3. Open CPK and click the * icon and save your current profile.
4. Open the profile in CPK by clicking on the ... icon and loading the profile you just saved
5. Make sure "Lock Profiles" is checked
6. Click Apply.
7. Do this everytime you start up Windows.

 

Do I risk getting banned with it from steam/blizzard?

 

Have you checked that the games and programs are set to "Use global settings"?

Also after the Creators Update, I had the problem that Windows, hence benchmarking programs, couldn't "find" OpenCL on my system, so I had to download and reinstall just the current NVIDIA drivers.

 

Why would you? lol
