Hi everybody, i had a look through the forum and couldn't find a fix. I have a benQ SW271 monitor running out of a 2080ti via DP, I have a calibrite display pro HL all on win 11. I had issues with the monitor defaulting back to 8 bit on restart but i think i have solved that one. for the life of me i cannot get the profile i created to load when windows starts, i cant even get it to load manually, `the system defaults back to srgb, I've manually entered it into colocpl. uninstalled hidden monitors in device manager. i've deleted connectivity and configuration in regedit, set a 30sec delay in task scheduler. nothing i do seems to fix the issue. I also have a cheap prism_34"widescreen i use for sim racing and only have it on sometimes, it almost seems like windows thinks that my benq is the prism. I dont know i'm at a loss. can somebody please help

If you have a Benq SW271C monitor, it supports hardware calibration with the loading of 3DLut. If you came to this forum, you most likely already have the ColourSpace program purchased. The LTE license version of this program creates a 3DLut and writes it to the BenQ SW271C monitor; no ICC profile is required in the Windows 11 operating system.
The workflow is described here.

The BenQ SW271 (without the 'C') has no 3D LUT capability.
And the workflow pixelPusher is describing has nothing to do with ColourSpace or LUTs - it is an ICC workflow.
So unfortunately, there is really nothing we can do to help.
But ICC workflows are fraught with issues. See: https://lightillusion.com/what_is_wrong_with_iccs.html

Alexey, Steve
I've messed around with it a little more and the issue seems to be that windows refuses to load the profile at startup, or anytime, it defaults back to srgb

Have you read the ICC info page linked to above?
ONLY the VCGT is used when no ICC aware program is running.
And a VCGT is not even a standard component of an ICC, and can only alter grey scale.

I use LI's SpaceMatch to load the required VCGT on Windows start-up if that helps.
That is just the VCGT not a full ICC.
The required ICC then gets used by the ICC aware graphics program.
