Displaycal load profile at login1/27/2024 Now you mention it, I remember coming across that issue before: some full-screen programs flush the LUTs in the video card (but well behaved ones reload the LUTs from the profile when they exit!). In fact, Florian’s post about disabling the profile loader was in response to someone asking how to do that because a couple of their game titles didn’t look good with the Displa圜al profile loader active. Florian mentioned it’s not uncommon for apps that run in full screen mode, usually games, to push their own LUT to the video card. I found a post from Florian (the developer) about the scheduled task entries shortly before I retired for the evening.Ĭoincidentally, the post from Florian explained the same thing you mentioned about Displa圜al’s profile loader pushing the LUTs to the video card and potentially doing so more often than just once at startup or login. I was more or less trying to find the answer to this question before I committed to installing Displa圜al. Some programs have the irritating habit of watching for anyone disabling their wonderful start-up, and re-anabling it, when it actually doesn't need to run all the time, but could run perhaps only once a day and then exit. A startup program (Task Manager -> Start-up tab, and disable the start-up program as necessary).A service (Win key + X -> Computer Management -> Services and Applications, and disable the service if necessary).The task scheduler (Win key + X -> Computer Management -> Task Scheduler, and disable the task if necessary).I know you've found an anser to your question, but a general answer to the issue of how to stop things being run at boot-up, they are generally started one of three ways: It's the Video Card Gamma Tables - the calibration LUTs normally contained within the profile - that are loaded into the video card at each boot. The profile is set as the Windows default profile once and for all, until some time that the profile is changed. By the way: it's not the profile that is loaded at boot-up. I use Displa圜al, but currently only to measure profiles. I didn't answer as I don't know about its VCGT loader. If you need to suspend use of the profile loader, it appears you can do so by going into the task scheduler, disabling those tasks, and rebooting. My question is, is there anyway to fix this, or did Displa圜al maybe leave some traces in Windows / the registry, and if so, is there software to check if Displa圜al has been completely removed.On the remote chance anybody else ever needs this info, Displa圜al's profile loader is activated via two Windows scheduled task entries. Since then my ICC profile wont load at windows startup anymore, it is always set as the standard profile, the "use my settings for this device" checkmark is checked, the "use windows calibration" checkmark is also checked. I returned the new monitor (LG IPS) and decided to uninstall Displa圜al, and stick with my old Asus. I recently installed Displa圜al (+Argyll), hoping I can do some tuning to one of my new monitors, but sadly you also need the hardware for it. The profile also changed brightness and contrast / black levels, so when applying it, it was immediately noticeable, on the Dekstop aswell as Chrome / Discord / everywhere (so no profile which you only can see in Photoshop, Gimp etc). Im using an old monitor (Asus PG278QR, TN Panel) and always used a color profile.
