Windows 10: Windows 10 Color management

New to forum (Hello, all)
Did not know where to post this, so I did a search on Color Management and this forum seemed to be the place, so...

-------------------------------------------------
I am not asking how to do Win 10 color management. I know how to do it. I'm wondering if my old software is really working or being overridden by Win 10.

Let me explain.

I upgraded to Win 10. For CM I use an old Monaco Optix XR DTP94 puck, circa 2006. Even tho the (puck) driver is not signed, I got it installed by putting Win10 into a developer mode.

I profiled the monitor, created an .ICM file, and set it as the default. Everything is as it should be.

But here's the kicker. I've researched it and cannot find an answer.

The app loads an old .exe file, puts it into the startup stream, and supposedly remaps the colors to the ICM file on startup. The old (2006) monocogamma.exe file is in the startup thread and shows as active in Win 10.

However, because it is so old I am wondering if it is working or needed. In other words, even tho the .exe is being loaded at startup, is it possible that after execution Win 10 comes along and reloads its own profile, overriding what was loaded by the .exe?

Or perhaps the .exe should be removed from the startup stream. If the .icm profile is still set as default, will win 10 use it and load it with its own startup procedures? Note: the monocagamma.exe file seems to be executing on startup - I see a quick tray window pop up and say so.

Don't know, and cannot find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kendall,

For us to isolate your concern with Color Management, we would like to know the following:

• Click the Advanced tab, and click Change system defaults.

  - 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.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Color Management Windows 10

Since the last Windows 10 ver 1703 cumulative update, under Color Management>Advanced> the "Reload Current Calibrations" button is grayed out. Also if I change the default ICC profile to an non-calibrated ICC, there is no visual change in the color of
my displays. Is Windows really applying my calibrated ICC profile that I created? It doesn't appear so. Also the monitors listed in Color Management aren't exactly the same as the ones listed in Display Settings. Does Windows 10 know what the other
hand is doing? They are both apps of Windows 10.
