    I’m trying to use DispCAL to profile a laptop that lacks hardware controls; I can only fix the whitepoint and gamma via the Windows calibration tool. However, when I start DispCAL and try to calibrate the whitepoint, the Windows calibration is ignored – is there any way to have DispCAL preserve it? Without it, my whitepoint is too far away from D65 for DispCAL to assume it as a target!

    You’re doing something wrong.

    DisplayCAL can calibrite a laptop display just fine. There’s no need to manually set the white point and gamma level.  All you have to do is set the brightness level as close as possible to the target value and let the app do the rest.

    What laptop and colorimeter do you have?

    Could you show me screenshots of the “Device & Instrument”, “Calibration” and “Profiling”  tabs?

    If I do that, DispCAL will assume a target whitepoint other than D65.

    I know I can leave the gamma alone, but I would like to get it as close as possible, if I can.

    Load windows visual calibration and in DisplayCAL Tools, report on CALIBRATED display. It will measure your current whitepoint. Set those coordinates as target whitepoint & calibrate.
    If you can use commandline you can do the same with “spotread” (spotread -X spectralcorrection.ccss if you have an i1d3)  over a notepad whitepatch.
