    Hi, I have this problem

    Every time i reboot the laptop the color enhancement from the Nvidia GPU gets active even with the 2 options (Other aplications control color settings and Use Nvidia Settings)

    The Thing is that using the color enhancement from the intel graphic card, i get better color results but i need to apply the changes every time i reboot cuz the Nvidia GPU gets Active First

    What can i do to let the Internal Intel Graphic overrides the Nvidia color settings


    thanks

    I got this problem with the l702x, you have a conflict of interest between the intel, nvidia and windows colour profile software... even if you use one program to load a profile you will find that it resets to default after exiting games n suchlike

    I got around the issue by disabling/restoring default on intel/nvidia settings then using the windows colour profile software... adding the colour profile and setting it as system default... works fine now.

    it seems i got something but i will make more test... my solution is as follows

    The intel Graphics software lets you get acurrated colors due to the color saturated option so...

    1.-put the first option of the Nvidia GPU color settings to "Other aplications control color settings" and load with the intel graphic software your configuration(just apply them)
    2.-dont change to the Nvidia GPU option "Use Nvidia Settings"
    3.-Dont stop the 3 in tel grphic processes that runs on the Startup.

    with that way you will load always the intel graphics configuration...my problem was that i stopped the 3 process with msconfig

    I will make more test...the online way to proof that is that if you change any color enhancement option from intel graphics...you will notice a drastic change switching to the nvidia GPU configuration...but if there is no change at all, kust the option that you move...then its ok
