High contrast in photos after export/save as.. Please help!!!

Question

I just calibrated my monitor and in theory works fine, but when I open both the photoshop and my file the different between my imagen in photoshop and the one I saved are huge. In photoshop the photo looks bright and overexpose but, in my save,/export files looks dark and with high contrast. I do understand that is going to be a compression in colors after you export to jpeg, but this is to much.

I though was the monitor calibration but all my imagen should look a list similar in the monitor. I finding that I have to overexpose my photos in photoshop to get a little bright photo in jpeg. I can't work guessing the right expose and saving and comparing and changing in photoshop until I looks similar.

Photoshop is color managed, and uses the monitor profile to display correct colors.

The Photos app is not color managed, doesn't know about the monitor profile, and will not display correct colors.

No native Windows applications are color managed, so you have to use a third party color managed viewer.

Here are some options:

FastStone image viewer. Free for personal use. Color management must be enabled under Settings > CMS, and both boxes must be checked,
ACDSee. Not free. Color managed out of the box.
Irfanview. Free for none commercial use. Color management must be enabled under Options > Properties/Settings.
Bridge. Included in your Creative Cloud subscription.

When exporting, make sure to check both Convert to sRGB and Embed profile.
