Question Changing brightness without disabling .icm profile

[elijah_]

Hi,
I followed a guide to setup my display colours that included an .icm profile, BlurBustersStrobeUtility and creating a NVIDIA custom resolution, which got me great colours but I find it a little bit too dark when watching dark scenes in a video. My display brightness is already at 100 and if change the brightness in the NVIDIA Control Panel the .icm profile will reset making my colours not rich enough. Is there a way to tweak the brightness, contrasts while keeping the .icm profile active?
In my Windows 10 display settings the only thing about brightness I can find is under 'Do you have a question?' at the bottom, leading to a microsoft article talking about a slider in the action center or in the display settings that I don't have in my version.

Have you tried working with adjust desktop color settings ?
The profile settings shouldn't be lost in the recent version of the drivers from nvidia.
You might laugh at this as well, but depending on your display tv/monitor.
You might have to play with the color profile setup abit in order to find that sweetspot for your icm profile.

Not sure I understood what you mean, but when I go to 'Adjust desktop colour settings' in NVIDIA and click 'Use NVIDIA settings' over 'Other applications control colour settings', the colours from the .icm will reset immediately. I've been playing around with the sliders there but I can't manage to balance them so that it looks good.

I changed the picture mode to 'Photo' on my monitor now, which got me decent enough colours and brightness in combination with the ICC profile. Only problem there now is that the profile keeps resetting everytime I boot up 🙁
