  1. Games keep changing color profile


    I recently built a new PC, installed Windows 10 Pro, all drivers are up to date. I've noticed on two different monitors I've tried, Windows keeps changing the color profile from my default accurate sRGB calibrated one to something much more saturated and blown out, the only way I can fix this is to hit the Windows key, search color management, click on my correct color profile and click "Set as Default", this will usually change it back to the more accurate color setting. Every single game I boot up does this. I've never had this issue on another PC.



    What could be causing this and is there any fix?

    Games keep changing color profile

    Creators update- games ignore nvidia ctrl panel color profile

    not fixed in Red stone 3 , still issues with color profiles.
    not sure what build number i tried, but it was RS3
    and i think i found something interesting:
    the games that give me issues are in the list of RADAR leak detection:


    Games keep changing color profile [​IMG]


    and all those games seem to have that check box enabled at compatibility for ignore high DPI scaling.
    something like that.


    edit : i did not try that build.
    if the fix works on the new build, then they might rollout a cumulative KB if possible.
