Windows 10: icons keep their flash color on, no matter what I do

so this has been a thing for a while now and nothing I could think of can fix it. updating windows, reinstalling the app, messing with the registry/other third-party apps. once an app starts flashing yellow requires attention it stays lit up until I close and open it again, which can be really annoying. I know that a fresh install of windows can fix it, but it is not worth the time and effort to do so just for a cosmetic thing. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it?

Hi,

Since troubleshooting steps were provided, what I can suggest is for you to try to configure the settings on your monitor's color management. Kindly follow the steps provided below:

• Open Color Management by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type color management, and then click Color
  Management.
• Click the Advanced tab, and click Change system defaults.
• Click the Advanced tab in the Color Management - System Defaults dialog box, and do one of the following:
  
  - To prevent Windows from loading display calibrations, clear the Use Windows display calibration check box.
• Click Close in the Color Management - System Defaults dialog box.
• Click Close in the Color Management dialog box.

After installing windows 10, desktop has no icons and flashes

Any suggestions?

 

Windows color profile won't "stick". It resets no matter how much I click "Make Default"

My default color calibration for Win 10 is washed out. (Gamma setting I think.) I don't know why that is nor why it seems to be the unrelenting default color profile that windows resets to no matter what. I've tried to set different color profiles
in the Color Management menu as the 'default profile,' but no matter what I set as the default, it will always reset it to the default washed out one upon closing the Color Management window.

I also tried going into "Change System Defaults" under Advanced tab and making the new profile the system-wide default. It still goes back to the washed-out profile after closing the Color Management window.

I'm irritated that windows ignores my settings and circumvents to this weird washed out default no matter what I try, is there any way to fix this?

A previous fix to someone else from Microsoft did not help.
