I just noticed that I replied to a closed (Not a Bug) issue (link) instead of a topic, so here I am re-posting it as a topic:
I have just updated from Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro (64 bit) and I have the same exact issue. Before I used the Datacolor app (Spyder 5 Pro) for calibrating, but now on Win10 it returns a bad profile (gray seems more like green). So I decided to try out DisplayCAL since I’ve always heard good things of it.
I am using Argyll 1.8.3 (Argyll_V1.8.3_win64_exe.zip) with displayCAL 3.1.4 but no matter how many times I try to re-install the driver or everything else no monitors (I have 2) nor the Spyder instrument is detected. It took me some time to install properly the Argyll driver but I managed it in the end, still nothing appears. I also went ahead and removed the Datacolor driver and application in case they were somehow interfering.
My DisplayCAL window is the same exact one seen in the linked issue above. Logs have nothing in them:

I was reading around and noticed the USB connectivity issues topic. Let me add that I am using USB 2.0, rather my motherboard is so old (5+ years) that I have no 3.0 ports at all 😀
No ideas anyone? I removed the other calibration profiles and my monitors are looking really bad right now, I need to fix them 🙁
I guess I should at least go back and use the bad calibration profile for now at least, it’s still better than nothing.
Please open a command prompt and run the following:
C:\Users\XXX\Downloads\Argyll_V1.8.3\bin\dispcal -?Then attach the output. Thanks.
This is what I get:

Looking at that text it seems to detect both monitors and the spyder properly, but then why is displayCAL not listing them? 🙁
Okay, after you had me run that command a popup from my firewall (Comodo Firewall) came up. That made me think for a while and then I figured out that when DisplayCAL was searching for monitors and instruments my firewall was silently sandboxing it. After adding The Argyll folder to the ignored folders in my firewall rules DisplayCAL now properly finds that I have 2 monitors. But it still won’t list the Spyder 5 as usable instrument.
Is there anything else I should add to my firewall ignore list perhaps? Or am I missing another step to make the Spyder 5 show up in DisplayCAL? I have already run also the option “Import colorimeter corrections from other display profiling software…”, I choose “Spyder 4/5 – Install for current user only”.
EDIT: restarting windows seems to have fixed it now, the Spyder 5 is properly showing up in the instruments dropdown. Unfortunately I have to go out for a while now, as soon as I’m back I’ll try a calibration and let you know how it goes 🙂
All solved, I was able to calibrate properly both monitor and the green-ish effect on my main monitor is completely gone after using DisplayCAL. This is indeed an awesome program, thanks again!
Hi,
I am currently running into Problem where Display cal is not reading my TV, receiver or devices just like the user in the thread.
I am running OSX 10.9.5 in a late 13 retina display Macbook pro
Display Cal version is 3.8.9.3
Just wondering if you might be able to tell why Display Devices are not showing up. The only thing that shows up is my Macbook Pro Display as MacbookPro11,1@0,0,1280×800 (primary)
THanks if you can help please just shoot!
yeah I checked that out, i also tried the little refresh option which does the same thing.
I checked out this thread and Florian gave options for PC USers to change through Command Prompt
THe Mac option would have to be through the terminal I guess.
I really need help with this
