Win 11 and color management issue

[lvartist]

I use the latest version of CC and Win 10.  I have not switched to Win 11 because of the color management issue acknowledged by Microsoft in Dec.  Has Microsoft fixed this issue?

Heres a bit of background and a link to Microsoft's info, we are still getting posts about the issue so I'd guess its not yet fixed.

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.

Thanks for the replies.

Before posting this AM I did many internet searches.  The consensus:  a problem not yet fixed.  

I use  i1Display Pro to created a monitor profile.  I use the profile in Windows Color Management as the default profile for monitor #1 (main monitor for CC painting, editing, etc).  When I can be certain that Win 11 functions the same way I will move to Win 11.  For now Win 10 works fine and CC 23.1.1 works flawlessly for me.  

Thanks again.
