Icc profile keeps changing to system default.

[Kolbe Howard]

I have a Benq Xl2411Z monitor and I changed the default Icc profile to a custom one. Unfortunately, my computer completely ignores this command and resets the profile whenever I launch a game or reset my computer. I have to manually set it to default every time I want to use it and I can't figure out how to make it permanent.

Anyone else have this problem?

Please review this and double check that u understand how to apply a different ICC

As there is a "Apply my settings" u must check. And if u do not, your change will not apply and stick once you go outside of that screen.

I followed all of those steps, that's actually the guide I used to setup the thing. There is a profile called: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 It says it was created in 1988 and it's forced as the system default. I can't delete it either.

Every time I change the system default it works until I launch a game or restart my computer, then I have to change it again as it keeps reverting back to this profile.

I am having the exact same issue with my BenQ XL2411Z, have you found a fix or is it still playing up?

I did fix it eventually but I can't recall how unfortunately. I got a new monitor about 6 months ago and have not had this issue since.

You need to be under an Admin account in Windows.

Go to your offical monitor website:
http://www.benq.eu/product/monitor/xl2411z/downloads/

Under the downloads > driver (tab)

Download the latest monitor drivers to a folder on your PC. Right-click and extract all from the ZIP file. It's IMPORTANT to extract them all first.

You should find a few files (CAT, ICM, INF). Right-click the .inf file and select install.

Double check - Under Search Windows, find "Color Management" or under your Control Panel > Display > Advanced Display Settings. Under the "Devices" tab, select the monitor from the device list. Below, it should show a list of ICC Profiles, "Set as Default" to the correct one. You should only be able to remove old ones, when the other has been applied.

Holy crap, I've been trying to sort my dual monitor set up for months now - spend a couple of hours trying different fixes and giving up cursing windows 10, lol, until the next time it gets too much for me to ignore.... Thanks for this, if frigging worked instantly, the moment I hit install, the colour profile I had been trying to get applied for over an hour to no avail worked! Thanks you so much, I wonder how many other people have found this post helpful since you posted. :)

Cheers again - happy holidays!
