Monitor Color Calibration keeps resetting

Anonymous

Hello, I have an acer SA230 and have been trying to fix the monitor's color for 3 hours now. Normally, when a monitor is off color, I would simply go to the color management window and calibrate the monitor. However, every time I finish calibrating the monitor, the moment I click outside any color management window, the calibration resets and the monitor is again off color. I have tried reloading the ICC profile in the color management window and setting the profile as the default both locally and system wide, and still the monitor resets its color whenever i click outside the color management window. I have already reinstalled the drivers and have gone as far as disabling driver signature checks in order to do so. I'm not entirely sure what else could be done at this point other than returning the monitor.

    I didn't have igfxpers.exe in the startup tab, but I uninstalled any sort of intel graphics drivers and software. No luck unfortunately. I don't think this is a problem with the monitor either; I have a dual monitor setup and both monitors reset every time they're calibrated. If it helps, I have a GTX 1070 connected to both monitors.

    Here's another potential fix I found. Some users are saying this appears related to the newest Windows 10 Creator's update.

    Here are the steps that migth fix this.

    1. Press the Windows shortcut keys Win + I to open Windows Settings.
    2. Select "Gaming".
    3. In the Game bar pane, make sure the "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar" is on off.
    4. Uncheck "Show Game bar when I play full screen games Microsoft has verified”.

    Then check whether the Windows 10 Creators Update keeps resetting screen calibration error gets fixed.

    Hi,

    Could you try the following?

    1.) Click Start

    2.) Type in msconfig and press enter

    3.) Click on the Startup tab

    4.) Then uncheck igfxpers.exe

    I've seen this work for some people.

    Let me know if this doesn't work/apply to you and we'll try something else.

    I'd recommend uninstalling the Fall Creators update.

    To do this go to Start > Settings and click on Update & Security. Click the Recovery link on the left and then click on Get started under ‘Go back to the previous version of Windows 10.

    Let me know if this doesn't work for you.

    Still doesn't work unfortunately. What else do you have in mind? I also do think it has to do with the latest creator's update, since calibration worked before.
