Lightroom Previews Colour Incorrect

So why does Lightroom Classic one day show the correct colours on previews, the next day not?

When this started, nothing updated, nothing was installed, one day it was working the next day not.

Everything has a brown cast. I've looked at the endless posts on this community, tried all the suggestions and nothing fixes the problem. I've tried the specific monitor profile, the sRGB profile, set them as default, loaded the latest graphics drivers, rebooted/restarted endlessly.

The only place to see the correct colour is in the develop module full screen.

So what do you have to do to get this to work. Trying to sort through photos and can't see the correct colour in the library module is frustrating.

Is this a preview problem? You could try renaming/deleting the "XXX Previews.lrdata" file, forcing LR to rebuld the previews.

This sounds like a defective monitor profile.

Did you restart LrC after setting it to sRGB?

Please post a screenshot of the Windows Color management dialog after having set the profile to sRGB.

Also post a screenshot of the entire Lightroom window with an image open in Develop (not full screen mode), and make sure that the histogram is visible.

Do not attach the screenshots, use the Insert Photos button in the toolbar to insert them directly in your post.

LrC has been restarted and the computer rebooted numerous times.

Screen grab of windowed LrC.

If I go to Preferecnes and disable the Graphics Processor, the full screen picture in the Develop Module becomes the same colour as the filmstrip.

I guess Lightroom just isn't meant to run on a PC. It's horribly slow, now this colour problem, and I haven't changed anythign to casue any of this to happen.

Shame that we have to pay to use it and get a slow buggy piece of software ported from Apple.

As Per says. This has nothing to do with platform. You have some specific problem on your machine that the rest of us don't have. We need to find out what. Adobe's user base is roughly 50/50 Windows/Mac, so they obviously don't "favor" one over the other.

Do you have HDR enabled?

BTW - I googled the Aorus FV43U, and it's a P3-type display. So sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is in any case the wrong monitor profile to use. Try Image P3 instead. Of course, the real solution is to use a calibrator to make a custom profile based on measuring your display.
