Hello there,
I've been having an issue ever since last year, once the first fall creator's update for Windows 10 rolled out (1709, I think?). Once I updated, the colors in my screen just got waaaay to bright, like I was using a white filter over it. I couldn't find any brightness settings (I'm on desktop), messing with the settings from my monitor itself didn't help either.
I then tried every fix I could possibly find on google, but none of them worked: going through Window's color calibration tool, checking the "use nvidia settings" on nvidia control pannel, updating all drivers, removing my monitor's profile from the system and then rebooting, typing colorcpl and then ticking the "use my settings for this device", messing with the tasks related to calibration loader, etc, etc, etc. The only solution I could find was to roll back to Window's 10 1067 version, which completely solved the issue, so I know my monitor is working fine.
However, after few months, Windows began to agressivelly force me to update, so I updated, tried any fix I could find to no avail before rolling back again. I did this about 3 or four times before I finally got fed up and looked for methods of blocking windows from forcing me to update through it's update assistant tool. I seem to have succeeded, but now it keeps reminding me, every single day, that I need some updates.
I know defering updates is not the ideal solution, and I think I can't keep doing this forever, so does anyone here know of another solution to this particular problem? I'd really like to avoid doing a clean install of Windows, since I don't have the time to backup all my files to then copy them all over again, not to mention re-installing all the programs and games I use. I know Windows 10 is already in version 1083, so it's a bit frightening that I need to keep mine so far behind.
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the text.
