iMac 17.1 color profile for Windows 10 bootcamp

hi all,

running Windows 10 on the 17.1 iMac with the P3 display (late 2015 27") looks dark and oversaturated. I was attempting to change monitor color profiles like you would usually do on a standard Windows computer, however when I do the same thing on the iMac in Bootcamp, Windows completely ignores the color profile. Is this a know issue with the Bootcamp or monitor drivers? Is the a way to get accurate colors on Bootcamp using the P3 display? Thanks in advance.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), Windows 10

thank you for the reply, I know this page and I know how to change color profiles under Windows. The problem is that my bootcamp-Windows on the iMac ignores any color profile I assign. I was wondering whether this was a known issue with either bootcamp, the P3 display, the Crimson driver or something else. Interestingly enough, Crimson reports the 5k P3 display as 2 screens in an EyeFinity group, while Windows reports it only as one. Messing with the EyeFinity setup though leads to severe distortions and misrenderings, so I left it where it was by default.

AMD people said Apple was responsible for the driver...

Anyway. I got a Spyder5Pro color calibration device, and the Spyder software now takes care of loading my calibrated profile on boot, completely automated.
