ICC profiles not sticking

Hi!


When I use the Display Calibration Assistant to calibrate my Apple Studio Display, it creates a ICC profile.


The problem is that the profile created with the Display Calibrator Assistant doesn't stick after sleep or reboot; I have to manually go in ColorSync Utility and put it back on after every time my computer goes to sleep.


Is there a way to fix that?


Thank you!


Chris.


PS Where did the Display Calibration Assistant's Expert Mode go from the app's interface? Holding the alt key while opening the app doesn't work.

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
