I want my Color Profile to remain sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but Illustrator keeps switching to Display making the colors way too bright. Usually it's when I go to a different program then back to illustrator it switches to Display and I have to go Edit/Assign Profile and choose sRGB IEC61966-2.1 again. Thanks for the help!

If I understand correctly, your Color Settings have as RGB Working Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Do you Open images (like screendumps) in Illustrator? This will make Illustrator use the image color profile as the Document Color Profile.

I drag and drop photos and screenshots into illustrator a lot, yes. Would using Place avoid changing the color profile?

It is worth trying, certainly if drag and drop creates new documents.
