    Hi, I have a custom color profile for my laptop & 2nd screen (attached via laptop --hdmi--> hdmi-splitter --hdmi--> screen). In NVIDIA Control Panel I changed the desktop color settings to "let application handle it" (so NVIDIA is not handling it). However, as soon as I boot my laptop back from sleep more the color profile is set to the default colors. And eventhough the default should actually be the custom color profile, the colors are set to windows-out-of-the-box-default.

    A reboot works fine..

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Does your machine have a program like asus has (Power 4 gear) that controls power plans? If so, and you are using it, try one of the standard windows power schemes.
    PS Sweet desktop setup man, I am envious.

    Hmm no not that I know of.. There is just some "powerbios.exe" which comes from ATK-Hotkey.. but as far as I know it's just to switch into battery mode via shortcuts. Right now I'm in the windows high performance plan.

    Thanks.. I think it looks too messed up ;D

    I don't have an nVidia card, but perhaps there's an equivalent service running..

    With intel graphics, it would give me the same problem after I installed the spyder software. Upon resume it would revert back to the original color profile and I would have to go in to the control panel to change it. There was 2 services running, one of which was the intel UI, and the other was intel graphics persistence/igfxpers.exe , and that needed to be disabled as a service for the spyder settings to hold. It may not show up in task manager as a running app, but check your start up and running services and see if there's an nvidia equivalent that keeps restoring the nvidia settings. Might be it, might now.

    After doing a brief search it seems as if ifgxpers.exe is bundled with a lot of the nvidia drivers as well to provide added functionality/control. You can safely disable it and your nvidia control panel will still work, but check if you have that service running through the control panel or services.msc or CCleaner, if you do set it to disabled and buy me a drink :) . If not, sorry :eek:

    Hmm nope.. there is only one sleep mode.

    Also don't have such a process/service running in the backround :/

    I still have this problem.. it's so annoying. Everytime I start a game I loose the windows color profile.. I then have to go to the nvidia control panel and change the nvidia color correction from "let other apps manage it" to "let nvidia manage it" and then back to "let other apps manage it"..
