Nvidia color and gamma settings won't save

[Nejco]

1. Tryed running it as admin
2. Tryed complete uninstall with DDU in safe mode and reinstall

Nothing solved it. Have to disable and enable setting on every boot to get settings back. WTF?

Ran what as Admin? You can't change how NVIDIA Control Panel launches; either your have full Admin rights or you don't.

Then what should I do? I don't wanna always turn it off and on to make it work after every boot.

Are you changing it for Desktop or Video; those two are completely different.
Video refers to video encoded overlays, like when you play a movie file in Media Player or VLC; then Video Gamma, etc. applies to that only. Desktop refers to OS Desktop/GUI/Games.

Sounds to me like you are not clicking APPLY in lower right after making whatever changes you are doing. Sometimes u must scroll down to see that button, especially at lower resolutions.

And after OS startup, these settings take a while to apply if your system is slower, or has alot in the startup.

I'm changing at Display - Adjust desktop color settings. It stays applied after I click apply. Then next day after I turn on PC (Cuz there's no good reason to keep it on during night), it stay at set settings, however changes don't apply at all. So I have to click other applications can adjust settings and then click use nvidia settings and apply to get them back.

I have SSD, decent PC, and everything works very well here on Windows 10. Also I left PC for 10s of minutes and nothing ever happened so it's not that for sure.

Is this Laptop or Desktop?

Or simply list hardware specs.

Was this an in-place upgrade to Win10 from previous OS? Or a clean Win10 install (no OS upgrade)

[Nejco]

desktop. pls click my profile all specs there. it's clean windows 10

Which driver version? If 361.75; wipe that crap and go back to earlier ones; such as 359.xx

And mixing RAM = just looking for trouble, never do that.

[Nejco]

yes i do. will try older

[Bad 💀 Motha]

361.75 is having issues under Win10; so yea I would uninstall them fully, run DDU

Then go grab this: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/96883
Custom install > perform clean install box

[Nejco]

ok gonna try

[Nejco]

nope wont work sadly. tryed that used DDU, did clean install, same ♥♥♥♥. i also noticed nvidia control panel button wont do anything if i right click on system try icon and try it open it from there after first reboot and beyond. so i have to do it on desktop every single time to get control panel. it worked before first reboot.

any other ideas? i need this cause my monitor is not bright enough by default and it's useless to me without gamma adjustment

As a test, have u tried making other changes within NVIDIA Control Panel > then Apply > then to see if they "stick" go to Start Menu > Log Off (in Win10 to do that click your user icon at top of start menu for such option to appear). Once logged off, log in again and then review NVIDIA Control Panel to see if anything has reverted itself or simply not being applied.

If your system has an Onboard GPU (as most Intel CPUs do) are you sure you actually have your Display(s) plugged into the NVIDIA GPU and not on any Video I/O on the rear of the Motherboard?

[Nejco]

Hey as always thank you for all your help. I have gave up on Nvidia ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and restored that setting to default, and used Windows color calibration tool to change gamma. Works great, changes 1 second after I log in PC, so I'm happy. It looks good so I think I won't bother tuning this stuff with Nvidia panel ever again.

You are the only Admin account, yes?

Redo your OS; it has to be something related to your OS and/or User Account is all I can really suggest without looking at the system first-hand.

[Nejco]

Yes. It works now fine with windows calibation instead of nvidia crap so I'm not gonna bother changing what works anymore but thx anyway.
