FIX for White Color in Yellow Photoshop Windows 11

An old thread but fr others that find it.

Thank you very much Rogue War I had this problem a few years back and never did work it out.

I even threw a Canon 9000f scanner as I thought it was faulty.

I'd forgot about it until this 'white' issue cropped up again last week.

Puzzled the hell out of me as I'd only switched from one pc to another.

I have 2, both identical in every way, both running Win 11 and up to date, decent graphic cards, 32gb ram etc.

The one that went yellow had been fine until I'd swapped the cables over for the periprheral kit to use it on this pc so i was at a loss.

I've just deleted the driver as you described & it cured it.

I don't think it's a coincidence that all 3 of my monitors are the same as yours, the Viewsonic VX3276-QHD,

(the monitors are great by the way)

It would appear to be an issue with the drivers Windows is throwing at them as Win 11 tends to do things you don't know about in the background even tho' you've told it not to, typical Windows, bring back 7 lol.

Anyway, thanks again if you see this and by raising it again it might help others.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. This post made me think about the compatibility of my monitors....a couple of entry level Acer 24"....I'm having to operate in a temporary situation for a couple of months so I only bought cheapies. I checked and they're supposed to be Win 11 compatible drivers so I downloaded the drivers and bingo, all is fixed. Why they weren't automatically updating with the new Dell XPS 17 9710 support software I don't know.

Thank you Adobe Forum....awesome response!

There are several Win32 API functions to get monitor profiles, but among them, the GetICMProfile and EnumICMProfiles functions have a problem that does not work properly on Windows 11.

Photoshop seems to be using GetICMProfile in the Adobe Color Engine DLL. I guess that's why Photoshop can't get the correct profile of the monitor.

I am not sure about Capture One, but Affinity Photo uses the WcsGetDefaultColorProfile function, which works fine in Windows 11.

One tip that seems to help some users is to make sure HDR is off in Windows 11 to use your calibration settings.

Microsoft confirms another Windows 11 issue, promises fix in a future release

That's actually a different issue. That's a broken/defective monitor profile (in this case from Viewsonic), and deleting it substitutes the Windows default, which is sRGB IEC61966-2.1. The proper fix in this case is to use a calibrator to make a new custom profile (but using sRGB can work as a temporary solution).

What's discussed in this thread is a bug in Windows 11 that prevents applications from reading any monitor profile. Microsoft is aware of it and a fix is in the pipeline.

EDIT cross-post. As Dave says.

Colour management in Windows 11 is broken. You have NOT fixed the issue but hidden it by disabling the monitor profile. Unfortunately that action now guarantees inaccurate colour (although that inaccuracy is probably closer than the broken colour management in Windows 11).

The real answer is reverting to Windows 10 until Microsoft release the fix they are testing.
