The profile is set to “Premier Color Rec.601 10000”. A web search says that is the name of a profile provided by Dell for their PremierColor line of displays. Are you using a Dell laptop with a PremierColor display?

Another web search says that Rec.601 is a color standard for digital video editing (like Rec.709 and Rec.2020), and that 10000 is one of the white points supported by the PremierColor display. Are you editing video that requires Rec.601 at a color temperature of 10000K? If not, and if you are editing photos, try choosing a display profile that is more commonly used for photo editing, such as Adobe RGB or sRGB. Another web search says the Dell PremierColor line includes displays that are capable of reproducing Adobe RGB, so if that is true for the display in your laptop, try setting the profile to Adobe RGB. If it still looks wrong, try sRGB.

If you want accurate colors, use a hardware calibrator to calibrate the monitor.

This will also create and install a custom monitor profile that accurately describes the monitor. This profile will be more accurate than using sRGB or Adobe RGB.

The second best solution is to use sRGB or Adobe RGB, but the accuracy will depend on how close your monitor's gamut is to these color spaces. If the gamut is 100% sRGB or 100% Adobe RGB, these profiles will be reasonably accurate.

What is the make and model of your laptop?
