I'm wondering if my Windows 10 color management is working

I am not asking how to do Win 10 color management. I know how to do it. I'm wondering if my old software is really working or being overridden by Win 10.

Let me explain.

I upgraded to Win 10. For CM I use an old Monaco Optix XR DTP94 puck, circa 2006. Even tho the (puck) driver is not signed, I got it installed by putting Win10 into a developer mode.

I profiled the monitor, created an .ICM file, and set it as the default. Everything is as it should be.

But here's the kicker. I've researched it and cannot find an answer.

The app loads an old .exe file, puts it into the startup stream, and supposedly remaps the colors to the ICM file on startup. The old (2006) monocogamma.exe file is in the startup thread and shows as active in Win 10. However, because it is so old I am wondering if it is working or needed. In other words, even tho the .exe is being loaded at startup, is it possible that after execution Win 10 comes along and reloads its own profile, overriding what was loaded by the .exe? Or perhaps the .exe should be removed from the startup stream. If the .icm profile is still set as default, will win 10 use it and load it with its own startup procedures?

Don't know, and cannot find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

I never bother worrying about that. I just use DisplayProfile (external link) to make damn sure Windows is running the profile I want.

It's important to me.

Sorry, can't help you with the 2 monitors. When I was running Win 7 I learned you cannot profile both monitors when running a dual monitor system. Don't know if Win 10 is different.

I was running dual monitor profile on Windows 7, and I am again now on Windows 10. No trouble. But you need a calibrator which can make those profiles. Which calibrator do you have?
