Illustrator not saving or exporting assigned color profiles

[Nico Kobel]

I noticed, that each time when I export anything from Illustrator as SVG it kept reminding me, that this file doesn't have any embedded color profile (I'm aware that SVG is by default in sRGB - it's just about the popup). This popup shows up at several other instances.

I then always proceed to assign the right color profile, which I already did several times at this point and which is of course also my current working space. But this doesn't change anything: The Illustrator file as well as the exported files still don't have any embedded color profile, no mater what I try. 

The main issue seems the actual AI file itself, not the export. It just won't save the assigned color profile and thus not export it. 

What I tried so far: 

• Assign color profile, save and close
• Create new document 
• Change to another document color mode 
• Change to another document color space
• Reset color space settings
• Reinstalling Illustrator
   

Specs: 

• Windows 11 23H2
• Illustrator Version 29.2.1.
• Dell XPS 17 1910, Intel Core i7-11800H, 64GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

You can check if your document has a Document Color Profile assigned by activating it from the menu at the bottom of your window that usually gives you useful info like the name of tool you are currently using.
