Windows 10: Windows color calibration tool and resetting calibration

I went and ran the built in color calibration tool in Windows 10 to adjust gamma, brightness, contrast etc but I want to restore this back to what it was before I ran this calibration tool. How do I do that? There does not seem to be an obvious "Restore Default" button anywhere.

Do I simply delete / remove the Profile listed in the box under Start-Settings-Colour Management and maybe untick the box "Use my settings for this device"?

Thanks.

How to restore to default display color calibration

I just installed Windows 10, and in playing around I managed to mess up my color calibration. Anyone know how to reset to the default color calibration? So far all I've found online is how to change the calibration for Windows 10 and directions on how
to reset it for Windows 7, neither of which help me.

 

How to remove or reset Windows display calibration to the default?

Hi Kom,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to restore to default and check.

You must be logged on with a user account that has administrative privileges to make the below changes:

1. In the search box, type
color management, and then click
Color Management.

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

In Windows, you can use Display Color Calibration to calibrate your display. Before starting Display Color Calibration, make sure that your display is set to its native resolution. This helps to improve the accuracy of the resulting calibration.

1) Type display color calibration in the search box and then try to follow the on screen instructions to reset the calibration.

Thanks.

 

During color calibration you may have made changes to brightness and contrast outside windows using your monitor display menu.

Open your monitor menu from the controls on your monitor and find default or Auto settings there and reset defaults from there.

Then you can delete your profile, and proceed to recalibrate if necessary.

I did my calibration using NVIDIA Control Panel under Adjust image and Video settings:



Under the Advanced tab, don't forget to set color range to full(0-255)

Go here AVS HD 709 - Blu-ray & MP4 Calibration - AVS Forum | Home Theater Discussions And Reviews and download the MP4 version and here is the PDF manual: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...rns-Manual.pdf

The only thing I did on my monitor was set a daytime & nighttime custom backlight setting and calibrated for each.
