I'm guessing that you have a wide gamut monitor, and are viewing the jpgs in an application without color management, like the Photos app. With this kind of monitor, you must use color managed applications only to view your work, if you don't, over saturation is unavoidable.

The only color managed native Windows app is the Windows Photo Viewer, it's hidden somewhere on Windows 10, do a search for it.

You can also use Bridge, or the free Irfanview image viewer (you have to enable color management under settings).

Another good option is ACDSee. (not free)
