Develop mode is showing files black and white and much darker

After upgrading to v 12.4 I experience this:

Developing a file turns it in showing it first and short in bright light green and then in black and white and very dark.

Reverting to v 12.3 delivers the same as described.

Re-exporting an already ready file does not change colours, exposure etc. It is displaying the same as the older file.

 

The image shows the issue. In the left uppercorner shows how it supposed to look like. The develops screen shows how it actually looking. No further changes made with exposure, colours etc. (Windows 10)

I worked through these suggestions but the problem stays.

I also reinstalled the Adobe software I have.


Does disabling the GPU make any difference?

Your monitor profile may be defective. Temporarily change it to sRGB to see if the issue is gone.

It is already on sRGB, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to be exact.

I have some sRGB variations onboard, that did not change anything.

In Libary mode the photo shows as it should be, only in Develop mode it turns to a very dark and black and white photo on the screen. Displaying the exported file is normal again.
