Windows 10: Unable to change gamma in NVIDIA Control Panel or Calibration Tool

So, this has happened a couple of times to me. A windows update finally goes through and for some reason it changes my gamma setting back to normal, ignoring what I set it to in the NVIDIA control panel. When I got back to the control panel and move the gamma slider, nothing changes. Nothing happens at all when I move sliders in the color box. Normally I just roll back the update and it works again, but this time it won't let me roll it back.

I've tried everything. Reinstall NVIDIA driver. Gamma software, windows color management and calibration tool. Nothing works. Everything in google out there talks about how NVIDIA control panel settings won't stick, but nothing on them not working at all. I like my gamma around .8 or so, so everything seems so washed out. It's driving me nuts.

Any thoughts?

Nvidia Control Panel and Gamma Control

Hello:

I'm considering purchasing a new pc. An important consideration in my choice is my control over fine tuning of display parameters:

Brightness /Conrast /Gamma/ Color Saturation

So I'm looking for PC with dedicated (rather than integrated) graphics card, which might give me the most control

Which graphics cards have the Gamma setting as part of their Graphics Control?

I do recall an Nvidia Control Panel which did have a calibrated gamma slider. Question is : Do all Nvidia Control Panels have that gamma setting nowadays? I believe Intel had removed that gamma setting from their control panel..So maybe Nvidia is doing that as well.

The Inspiron Desktop 5680 I'm currently interested in does have that dedicated Nvidia control panel installed, but customer rep couldn't tell me if it had gamma setting or not...It is a rather costly desktop-probably on account of the Nvidia. So I'm wondering if less expensive pc's with different dedicated graphics cards might have that kind of control.

I'm not a gamer, but I'm unusually sensitive to visual display. So gaming isnt a consideration. But display control is !

Thanks much in advance

Nvidia Control Panel and Gamma Control

Most setups have 3 ways of changing the Gamma.
1. The Monitor controls.
2. Windows colour management.
3. Integrated graphics or Nvidia Control Panels.
There is just as much adjustment in an Intel integrated graphics as an Nvidia Card.

It is actually confusing to have 3 places for adjustments. Each can override the other, thus a messy result is easy to achieve.

Perhaps desktops r different from laptops in this regard?
I have Intel integrated graphics on the dektop pc i now have, and i find it very difficult to rapidly toggle gamma..mainly because of the user interface...Its east to put a Gamma setting if u intend to leave it on that level but very cumbersome to keep adjusting it per application
