My Viewsonic monitor VP 2365 ignores any windows profile icc or software colour calibration but only to its own osd adjustments. I tried it with two different graphic cards.

Win10 1903 build 18343, nVidia or CPU graphics GPU

ICC profiles are meant to display photos with accurate colors, in supported graphics programs (generally it's also needed that the photo itself specifies the profile).

So unless you open a photo with a specified profile in an app that can read the profile and respects the profile set in Windows, you won't see a difference.

What you're probably looking for (to get generally accurate colors from your monitor) is hardware calibration. For that you need a measuring device as well as software to calibrate your specific display.
