    I would like to disable the DisplayCal Profile Loader from launching on Windows startup. I have checked the normal locations and even used CleanMyPC –> AutoRun but this can’t locate where the file: DisplayCAL-apply-profiles.exe is loaded. How can I do this manually.

    Open up Windows task scheduler and disable the “DisplayCAL profile loader launcher” task. Note that this will effectively prevent any calibration from being loaded unless you use other means to do so (e.g. enable Windows own but low precision “Let Windows handle display calibration” in color management settings).

    How do I set back the option to “Let Windows handle display calibration”?

    I’m trying to disable it but it doesn’t appear in my startup list (inside the windows task manager > startup). Isn’t there any setting inside the app to disable it?

    Thanks,

    Rodrigo

    I can only start Windows 10 in safe mode and it will not allow me to change the task manager. Do you have another solution?

    Does your Windows not boot normally? In safe mode, scheduled tasks won’t run. As you probably need to fix your Windows startup problem anyway, I’d do that first.

    The problem when I boot Windows is a Displacal conflict with the display that results in a blank screen. If I could stop Displacal then I will not have any other problem.

    Weird. DisplayCAL does not access the display hardware in any way that could cause a blank screen. What led to the problem?

    Sorry for the typos but I am working from my phone until my computer works again. Displaycal is what I meant. Thanks for the quick response.

    The only change I made was loading Displaycal.

    Well, without creating a profile, it doesn’t really do anything.

    Any thoughts on how to disable it from boot up other than Safe Mode?
