Win 10 Anniversary Kills MSI True Color

[Bootskii]

After automatically updating (without warning, but that's on me) to Windows 10 Anniversary, I can't open MSI True color. The weird thing is that it's still working because I'm stuck on the anti-blue setting, which is super annoying for gaming. I'm sure MSI is working on a driver, but does anyone know how to fix it now?

It's like settings presets on monitors but in this case, it's on a laptop.

Have you tried reinstalling it OP?

Did you read the 20000 page terms and conditions before installing anniversary update? In there it says install at your own risk, Microsoft is not responsible for any crash or failure of device.

Haven't actually tried anything yet, but I'll give it a shot.

Sort of.

 

I know Asus monitors have different presets you can select in the monitor settings that have different levels of contrast, brightness, etc..

Why he is using third party software for something that is built into windows, I don't understand.

Not exactly the same thing, it usually has more options as they are firmware based tweaks.

Maybe you should Google it before you talk shit.

Chill dude, he didn't know what it was and he is usually just a blunt person. He didn't mean anything bad by it.

Look, thank you for your help. I really do appreciate it, and I'm not just saying that. But he insulted me and tried to make me look like an idiot, so I responded. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.

He really didn't though, I've been on the forum a lot longer than you so I know when he is intentionally being a dick or just being his normal blunt self. Reacting the way you did doesn't really help in discussions either so I would recommend trying to stay level headed. Too many topics get locked by mods because of knee jerk reactions. Anyways, hope I helped .

You have, in more ways than one. Thank you

I did google it.

It's just MSI third party software that just gives you profiles for precalibrated settings.

Why you would want "gamer" profiles and stuff like that, idk.

 

Never heard of anyone switching profiles for different kinds of work, that just sounds ridiculous.

Professionals calibrate their displays and leave it that way. They don't try to boost colours and increase brightness and the stuff the MSI software does.

Once you have a calibrated display, you leave it like that permanently for everything, because that is what it is supposed to look like all the time.

 

And yes, windows has colour calibration settings which is the same thing just without 6 profiles.

 

 

Oh and btw the "100% srgb" colour calibration claims are just marketing, not actually true irl.

It's usefulness is not the point of this discussion. I like it, I use it, and I want it back. If you can't help me, then leave me alone.
