    When I go to color management and activate the color profile I created in DisplayCal it activates the profile for a second or 2 and then the screen appears to go back to default settings. This happens over and over.

    In addition I am getting popups from the Color Management System saying “The Devices pages has been refreshed due to a hardware change” when on the Color Management Page.

    I am not sure why the profile is not staying as the default or why I am getting the popup

    Check your background programs. Something is interfering with loading of calibration.

    That is normal. The Windows Color Management control panel does not auto-refresh. I recommend using DisplayCAL profile loader instead.

    Installing the profile with display cal software helped me set the profile and it stayed activated long term. This did reproduce another problem that I was trying to diagnose earlier on.  Lightroom displays Gray Colors as blue with the profile activated as shown in the below attached images.

    I ran a monitor calibration with DisplayCal software and a Spyder5 calibrator.  Everything looks great system wide but when I get to lightroom it seems that grays all have a blue hue to them for some reason? The histogram shows grays as blue on the Library tab and developer tab as well. I know that these images are not hued blue through past experience and also my editing laptop shows the histogram for these images with gray below the histogram color curve.

    *I also attached my Calibration Settings*

    What am I doing wrong?

    The settings you are using don’t make sense. Use defaults.
