Lightroom images importing with a pink hue

When I import my images (RAW-CRS) into Lightroom on my work computer it automatically gives my images a pick hue. My Histogram is "loaded" down with pink. This is not a preset I am selecting. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom and still the same issue. I thought this might be a camera setting. So, I took my camera and my images to class and my images imported just fine there and all my camera settings were fine. I have Lightroom on my laptop for home and my images also import just fine there as well. In addition to the above attempts to correct this problem, I also checked my monitor settings.

So, why is this problem just on my work computer? I have imported the same images on two other computers with no problems.

My current settings:

Quick Develop - Library Module

- white balance: As shot

Develop Module - Camera Calibration

- I tried both Camera Standard and Adobe Standard.

    In that case I suspect that the monitor is defective, or possibly that someone has been fiddling with the on-screen controls.

    This is what I have. I followed the link you provided to add the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile as default.

    So, we tried another monitor and it worked fine. Ya me I get new monitors. Apparently, these monitors are just not cut out for this kind of work. Thanks again for all of your help.

    Thank you for the assistance. I have 2 monitors which both are set to sRGB. I followed the instructions to the link you provided and still not working. I am going to contact my IT department to calibrate my monitors today. I also think these are just cheap monitor brands, AOC?

    Yes, I am on Windows 10.

    Thank you again for you help.

    If you by "set to sRGB"  mean a setting on the monitor itself, that's something entirely different, and will not fix the problem.

    Do your color management settings look like this?

    You have a defective monitor profile.

    To temorarily fix the issue, set the monitor profile to sRGB (Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor), then calibrate the monitor as soon as possible with a hardware calibrator.

    See instructions here for changing the monitor profile: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted/

    Are you on Windows 10 by any chance?
