    Hi there,

    When the DisplayCAL “Interactive display adjustment” window is open, measuring & showing myRGB values, I can’t change the Windows color settings in the “Calibrate Display” process. Any time I change the RGB values there, they flicker back to what they were before, making it impossible to move on through the process.

    Please, please help. I’m losing my mind over this. Let me know if I can give anymore information to help. Thank you in advance.

    More info:

    I have a Surface Book 2, 13″ with an Nvidia 1050 GPU. I use the Surface Dock to connect to the LG27UK600 27″ monitor.

    “Use Windows display calibration” is checked in Windows “Color Management – System Defaults”.

    Windows Game Bar is disabled.

    Calibration Loader Triggers in Windows Task Scheduler are disabled.

    Anyone? Please?

    One thing I forgot to mention is that I’m using a Spyder5 to calibrate.

    The Windows color management works in changing things and staying changed while in the menu, precisely until I click “Start measurement” in the DisplayCal “Interactive display adjustment” menu.

    The windows calibrate display wizard is for creating a crude calibration by eye.  There is no point in trying to use it if you have a colorimeter.

    The interactive display adjustment in DisplayCal is for adjusting hardware monitor controls (brightness/backlight, and RGB bias) that LG monitor may have a custom picture mode that allows you to change the rgb bias, or you can pick one of the color temperature presets that gets you closest to where you want it.

    Software display adjustments (like the windows calibrate display wizard, or video card control panel) and the calibration you get from a program like DisplayCal both do so by altering the VLUT.  You can only have one or the other at any given time and DisplayCal  will always reset the VLUT to its own values while doing measurements.

    Thank you so much! You’re amazing.

    Also, pardon my ignorance. =)
