Workaround for True Tone flickering in Windows 10 Boot Camp

Hello,

I've seen a few threads related to a flickering True Tone display on a Windows 10 Boot Camp partition. I managed to find a workaround which seems to be reliable and can be carried out as per the instructions below:

  • Boot in to Windows 10.
  • Right-click on your desktop.
  • Click "Display Settings"
  • Scroll down to the bottom and click "Advanced display settings"
  • Click "Display adapter properties" or "Display adapter properties for Display 1" depending on your setup.
  • Switch to the Color Management tab.
  • Click "Color Management"
  • From the Device drop down select your display (it'll likely be an Intel Iris Plus derivative).
  • Check the "Use my settings for this device" checkbox.
  • If the "Profiles associated with this device" panel is empty click "Add..."
  • Select one of the WCS Device Profiles and click "OK"
  • Ensure that the profile is now listed in the "Profiles associated with this device" panel and that it has (default) next to it.
  • Click "Close"
  • Your flickering True Tone display should now start behaving itself.

I've found that sometimes it reverts back to no profile and will start True Tone flickering again, simply run through the above once more and ity'll resolve it. Anecdotally this seems to happen after a MacOS update although that could be coincidence.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, 4 TBT3), Windows 10
