In fact this whole issue may have started for the OP after one of the major Windows Updates (Anniversary, Creators). A quick search on the Web shows an application titled 'Dell Premier Color' is installed on this laptop is used to change display profiles and was also broken by Windows 10 Anniversary Update. There's no way to view the system display profile being used.let alone change it! So yes way too many variables not to mention the latest Windows 10 Creators Update that appears to be causing issues with Color Management and system performance. On the OP's laptop the GeForce GT 520M GPU isn't even listed in the drop down 'Device' list. What I meant by assign is the ability to "choose" the system display profile in Windows Color Management. The application converts to the monitor color space and sends the data on their way. The profile isn't assigned to any video card.
I think we need to keep apples from oranges here. Windows Color Management is only allowing you to assign display profiles to the Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated GPU That said these solutions may only work with certain model laptops and may require an OEM specific graphics driver and/or firmware update. Since most all laptops built in the last five years laptops use dual GPUs (Intel/Nivida, Intel/AMD) they must have a solution. Which is why I suggest at this point the OP contact the laptop manufacturer Dell and/or Datacolor (Spyder manufacturer). Add to the mix two different profiles, each with a corresponding calibration that needs to be loaded by the OS.I don't think it's any mystery why it fails. One is based on the other, so they need to follow each other and be operational at the same time.Īll in all, this dual video card thing is a mess waiting to happen. Now, the confusion mainly arises because the calibration is usually stored within the profile - just for convenience. The profile is a description of the monitor in that calibrated state.
The reason we have both is that they fill different functions. The calibrator installs a little helper app to do this (I was a little inaccurate in saying the OS does it, but I wanted to separate it from the application). This is supposed to be global and affect everything, so if it can't be fed directly to the monitor itself, the next best thing is to have the video card do it. The calibration is a direct modification of the display's response. It's just like any other profile conversion.
The application uses it in a standard profile conversion under the hood, and the result of that conversion fed to the display pipeline. It's just a description, it doesn't do anything. To be honest it is still over my head because the Spyder software speaks of calibration and then offers to save a profileĪctually it's not as difficult as it seems, there's just some confusing terminology.
