    I much preferred the way the colors/screen looked on my 4k display when I had Dell Premier installed but ran into issues with the program so have kept it uninstalled.

    Is there a profile I can download and somehow install directly in the settings?

    Yes, you can. Find the program folder of DPC, there is a subfolder with the color profiles (.icm or .icc) within, you can copy them to the Windows Color Management folder. Then there is a somewhat confusing procedure to install them taking a few more clicks than one would expect. Once there, you can switch among them in Windows CM.

    A new version of DPC was released recently, should now work with the Anniversary update. I found it annoying because it messed with display brightness. It also produces certain annoying blue rectangles when moving windows, but that can be turned off.
