Windows 8.1 nVidia not remembering settings in the checkbox - thanks to D.Draker - solved!


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Every time I restart or turn on my computer my Nvidia control panel “ adjust desktop colour settings” doesn’t remember display settings , even though “use Nvidia settings is on “. I have to toggle between other “applications control settings “ & “use Nvidia settings” , to restore my colour settings. Unfortunately, none of the posted over the internet solutions has worked for me. Whenever my computer goes to sleep or restarts, the default settings are automatically re-applied. It may even reset itself during the session! My custom settings are NOT saved.

Friend, in as much as I want to help you, I can't. Never encountered such problems with Vista. I don't have 8.1, and here we have only one true 8.1 fan @Jaguarek62, as far as I know.

Did you try different drivers?

Thanks, I did. No luck. I tried all the way up to the last supported R470 batch.

It is a known bug by Nvidia that can happen regardless of OS

Only started for me with Win 8.

Have you tried putting the graphics card into another computer to see if it has the same issue?

If it is getting worse your card may be dying or maybe some other hardware is failing...

By the advice from @D.Draker, I tried installing Vista Ultimate 64 bit, no problem with it on the same computer.

But I still need Windows 8.1.

Well, I was able to replicate this big on Windows 7, try using only DVI-I, windows 7 glitches out on DVI-D.

Is Nvidia container service running? Unfortunately I had to enable it, otherwise the settings would reset (Windows 8.0 here)

My card has only DVI-D.
