After updating to windows 11 i have an issue with colors in Photoshop. i do not know how to describe this issue correctly, but I had the same feeling few years ago when video card tried to enchance some options regarding colors. i have checked the icc profiles in systems, srgb profile in Photoshop, have checked nvidia settings. Everything looks like it was customized in windows 10. However the colors look too much vibrant when I work with color balance e.g.

I have also noticed that earlier Photoshop had a dialog window with description at perfomance tab - GPU. And now i see only checkboxes there

Today, the promised update KB5008353 for Windows 11 was released. I spent an hour, installed it, checked it - finally, color profiles began to work without additional manipulations with WCS!

Excellent news, thanks for reporting. Considering that this affects a pretty small market segment, they were quick to respond to this.

We had a similar issue when Win 10 was released. 10-bit monitors exhibited irregular banding, while standard 8-bit monitors were entirely unaffected. I remember thinking that would never get fixed - but it was, and very quickly too.

This update still does not fix it

First, try disabling GPU in the preferences (Preformance tab). Any better?
If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.
If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it.

I disabled GPU, but it didn't solve the problem. Instead I had bad freezes and very poor performance (sysytem is Ryzen 3900x, DDR 32GB 3600Mhz, Nvidia 1080ti zotac, m2 system and scratch disks).

I couldnt't recalibrate my displays , cause I don't have x-rite device at the moment, but I have downloaded safe versions of ICC from my cloud storage for both displays, they are not damaged.

I examined tonight what's wrong with colors after update and noticed the following:

- colors customization became not accurate (when I slightly change selective colors, color balance or hue/saturation values, I have a result of very strong, contrast and saturated colors. The colors more look like pro RGB or adobe RGB but not as srgb color space); moreover, when I tried to assign Adobe rgb profile, the colos became even more saturated. So, the default saturation at SRGB is very high and looks very unnatural.

Some people have had problems with the new HDR display setting in Windows 11. Make sure it's off.
