Windows color settings

[VALORHEART]

Im having issue where the calibrated color settings not applying on the computer startup automatically, I have to open display settings on windows to get them applied... How can i fix this? i looked up google for help but found no solutions...

go to start and open up "color management" go to advanced then change system defaults and then add the color profiles as normal and advanced color profile

do make sure if you have multiple monitors to select the correct monitor for the color profile

I did that before, still not working, my display color gets washed out when i close a game and then i have to go to display settings to calibration to take effect again

does it happen on one game or different games aswel? why i ask because it might be a compatibility issue and if it is then wel rip you just have to accept that you have to manually re enable it again

different games, the only game that its not affecting is Diablo 4, it changes after launching any other games

what games does it turn off the color profile you set after exit?

Elden ring, Dark souls 3 and all other games literally

Edit: I just launched Resident evil 2, shadow of tomb raider and resident evil 8, It did not change colour calibration after closing them, but it does on pubg, elden ring and dark souls 3.

yeah then it is not a compatibility thing

i looked it up do not know if you use windows 10 and if they resolved it but ever since the creator's update games tend to reset the color profiles when it is in "fullscreen mode" try borderless fullscreen

there have been sugestions like
1. enabling "use nvidia color settings" instead of "use default color settings"
2. disabling fullscreen optimization in compatibility options of the exe file of the game

also if you have updated the nvidia drivers allready a bunch ddu'ing the driver and puting a fresh driver on there might also fix it

come to think of it i only ever experienced color profile's and hdr weirdness from nvidia cards haven't had a single issue on amd with this

Right now im using B580 lmao while waiting for my Radeon to arrive, I could bet a huge amount that this is caused by intel graphic software as when i calibrated my colour settings, the Intel software showed some kind of massege that they reset my settings on their software to default . so i might need to reinstall intel software

[Midnight Aurais]

yeah that may explain why you cannot find much info about the issue

reason why ddu not radeon nvidia or intel cleans up their drivers properly and the clean install is just reset cache and such it is why ddu exist graphic drivers are dumb in the way that they reuse any file that already exists but if adjustments were done in those files then you end up with either performance issues or any other funky issue or even issues that exist but aren't transparent

i have to say while i was fine with my old 2070 super having 3 nvidia updates after eachother before ddu'ing i recommend when you got the amd one to ddu each update from experience the issue people often describe are from not clean installs of the driver

also doesn't intel have its own color manager? i mean the old chipsets did so you might be fighting the color manager of intel if this is true you should remove the color profiles from color management of windows and just add it in the color management of the intel drivers

Best bet is never mess with that to begin with; change it from your GPU control panel and mostly from your Monitor's available presets that you can edit.

I removed all Intel stuff from computer using DDU and removed the gpu too and using iGPU only and still same problem, it seems it is a windows issue, i looked up internet and many people seem to have the same issue while using different gpus and hardwares etc etc...

What CPU and GPU are you using; and OS?
If Desktop, there is no need to uninstall the Intel GPU as it's never active or used for Display purposes unless a Display is connected to the Motherboard video outputs.

Im using windows 10 pro, and i removed and even returned the Intel gpu for it was not good enough for all games i play, now using igpu, Ryzen 9 7900x and waiting for my RX 7900 xt... i dont really know what to do now to fix the issue, im very much certain that this is windows issue... perhaps i should go to windows 11 and see if the issue still persist, but honestly i dont like windows 11 a bit.

Do you not understand that you would do that from your Monitors OSD and not the PC? Why would people do that from the PC?

Ryzen that new you should be on a clean install of Win11 anyways

my monitor does not have enough tweaks for the gamma... its only the gamma that i need to lower but the windows keep changing the gamma back to windows default, i tried deleting all default files for windows but its not possible since they are TrustedInstaller protected files.
