I had everything setup and working and was happy with my calibrations so I know that with my current setup things can work correctly —
I reinstalled Windows and am now setting things up from scratch and going through the process of calibrating my monitors and the profiles that are created don’t do anything. I’ve tried with both monitors, after the calibration is finished I can toggled the “Preview Profile” and there is no change whatsoever. I’m not sure what is overriding the icc profiles, or not allowing it to properly calibrate or what…
I’m on Windows 11. Nvidia A6000 GPU. Latest Windows. Latest GPU Drivers. Calibrite Display Plus HL
Attached is the About Page from Display Cal.
Calibrite Display Plus HL on Amazon Calibrite Display SL on Amazon

Check if there is some app blocking VCGT accets to diplaycal tray app. If you are mutiuser, open task manager, force close other users corrections (they may be open un less you reboot), the run again DisplayCAL Profile Loader (DisplayCAL-apply-profiles.exe)
Also on startup DIsplayCAL should do a LUT write test. Open console log for DisplayCAL and check if there is some error
Attached is what I see on the log.
I’m the Admin account. Nothing else is running besides the Profile Loader that would influencing the color
It seems DisplayCAL VCGT access is OK. Check your custom profile calibration curves, maybe they’re near lienar and applying them goes unnoticed.
I’m also confused because I keep coming across posts saying to disable “Windows Display Calibration” and others saying it must be toggled.
Small update. I had Armoury Crate installed, which is some ASUS motherboard thing. Not even sure what it does, but I read someone else having GPU driver issues or something so I just uninstalled it.
Now — it seems I was able to profile my main display, and when I toggle Preview on and off I can see a change. So, I ran the same process on my other display, and same thing, before and after calibration is no change whatsoever..
Would that be this?
That is default ICC instaled by monitor driver, with no VCGT calibration at all.

Unchecked. DisplayCAL tray loader uses its own loader with higher precision.
It should be checked if you do not want to use DisplayCAL VCGT calibration loader… and you won’t be here in that case.

We do not know calibration curves on each display profile, or even if your custom profiles are installed and set manually as default display profile for each screen.
Your screenshots are contradictory: 2nd post and 7th (the backgound window)Just completely installed everything Nvidia and reinstalled latest drivers —
Still having zero luck calibrating my other monitor (which is the one I really need to calibrate).
After a calibration, toggling Preview on and off creates absolutely zero result.
This is all very frustrating because I had this entire setup working beautifully before.
Any other ideas of what could be causing the issue? I’m about ready to pull my hair out.
