Windows 10: Solution to ASUS Color Profile Issue

This is a solution to a problem I have been having for ages that I thought I should share with others. When logging in after Sleep or Hibernate, my ASUS Vivobook, which has an AMD Ryzen Vega 3 graphics chip, the color profile would change to be more yellowish than the standard Windows color scheme. Based on searches and fiddling I had narrowed it down to an issue with a service called ASUS Optimization. Disabling this service would fix the color issue, but also changed how the fn keys functioned. Then I came across this thread, which suggests deleting files in C:\ProgramData\ASUS\ASUS System C

Windows Color Management Issue

Hi billin30,

With the issue you're having with your display color, I suggest that you calibrate. There may have been settings that is causing the issue and resetting them may solve this. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key on your keyboard, type Calibrate display color.
2. Follow the on screen instructions.

If the issue will not somehow improve, try to check with your monitor's color settings just to be sure.

Also, I'd like to clarify what monitor is having the issue with its display going to the 'other monitor'? I'd also like to ask for help in isolating the issue. Try to use the monitors one-by-one or have them pair up with one another. Like have BenQ paired
with Asus then have Alienware paired with Asus etc.

Update me if there were improvements.

 

Cannot change color profile for display no 2

Thank you for the details that you've provided. There may be a compatibility issue involved that kept on causing issue with the color profile. As we research further, since Asus PD287Q is using the display port and LG IPS 236VX is using the HDMI port, this
may be contributing to the color profile issue. We suggest that you try to use the HDMI port as well on your ASUS PD287Q to balance both monitors and see if there will be any changes.

Please get back to us.
