Windows 10: Problem with profile in X Rite Data Colour Spyder 5 Pro

I calibrated the monitor using X Rite Data Colour Spyder 5 pro. However the profile cannot be seen, and I can’t say if it is loaded or not. How can I find out whether it is loaded or not.

:)

After I have calibrated my monitor using an X Rite Data colour spyder 5 pro I cant tel if is loaded or not

I have re installed it because my Adobe Interface was not showing true backs and Grays only dark brown/green colours.

Hi Keith,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

When you create an ICC profile for display, the software you are using tells you where it will save the profile.

You can select a particular profile by navigating to:

Settings->System->Display->Advanced display settings->Display Adapter properties for Display N->Color Management->Use my settings for this device->Add.

(Replace N with the numeric value (number) assigned to the display you are calibrating).

Select the profile under ICC profiles.

If multiple ICC profiles are listed you will have to set the desired profile as default by clicking
Set as Default Profile, too.

If you do not see the profile listed there, you can click on Browse and navigate to the location where the profile is saved.

Select the profile and follow the onscreen prompts to set it as the default profile.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Post CU Update - Colour profiles won't "stick", gotta reapply on boot.


Ever since I went ahead and installed the Creator's Update, colour profiles have been acting a tad wonky. I use a Spyder 5 Elite to calibrate new monitors and the finished profile gets stored and loaded by Windows colour profile manager.

This normally works just fine, but ever since the CU things have been acting ... oddly. I have a profile loaded that Windows seems to ignore (which causes some rather intense overbleed of brightness and contrast) on boot/login. If I launch certain apps/games, it seems to refresh and load up the profile as it should on boot. (Like if I load up the Spyder software and tell it to swap between the profiles for comparison)

Has anyone using colour profiles noticed this, and might there be a workaround aside from bugreporting at MS and praying they care? *Rolleyes
