Windows 10 Colour Management malfunction / X-Rite iProfiler software malfunction / datacolor software...
For many months I have been experiencing colour management feature malfunction on Windows 10.
I was using the datacolor Sypder 4 Elite monitor calibrator. With the latest software provided by datacolor I was experiencing the calibrated profile intermittently switching off, then perhaps switching back on a moment later.
Recently I have switched to the X-Rite i1 Display Pro, yet I am still experiencing faults. The system is still switching the calibrated profile off intermittently.
On top of this, the X-Rite iProfiler software is dire in terms of usability and features. It is so difficult just to select and apply a profile I have created. Often the 'before and after' feature doesn't work. The software seems to profile the display when a previously created profile is still applied instead of reverting to the system default and profiling from that, as I would expect it to do.
However I'm also experiencing other issues with the colour management on Windows. When I enter Windows 10 Display Settings and attempt to choose a different colour profile, I am unable to do so. Sometimes setting a profile as the system default switches the profile, sometimes it doesn't.
Generally I'm unsure which of the profiles I have created is currently applied. Sometimes I apply a profile in the iProfiler software, yet the profile that seems to have been selected in Display Settings or after a reboot seems to be a different profile.
The degree to which Windows 10 and the software from X-Rite and datacolor are malfunctioning is atrocious. I have no confidence in the colour management of my device by Windows 10 and the X-Rite or datacolor software.
I already tried resetting Windows 10 a many months ago when I was trying to resolve the issue when I was using the Sypder 4 and the datacolor software and it didn't resolve the issue.
I'm considering resetting the OS again or doing a clean install. Would there be any benefit to doing a clean install that might help resolve this problem or would a reset reinstall all of the relevant system files and libraries that are responsible for the colour management functionality?
I'm experiencing this issue on a Microsoft Surface Book. Could poor graphics driver maintenance be the cause? Surface Book 1 has two graphics cards, the Intel integrated graphics and a separate nVidia graphics.

Try trashing all the profiles [or zip them up & hide them] except the defaults & re-calibrate. [I can't really go into details as I'm not on Windows, but I'm aware it's not the simplest platform to do colour management on, very probably the dual GPU isn't helping matters].

Thanks I've already tried removing all the profiles from the list of those associated with the display. Perhaps I'll try deleting them from the system, however it's not just about making a correct calibration, I'd also actually like to be able to switch between profiles, this is what is really tripping me up along with the profile sometimes switching of or never being loaded.

Why would you need to ever switch profiles? The profile is the colour management for that screen; assuming it's accurate it's the only possible one for that screen.

It's common to use a profile calibrated to D65 when working on images for the web and to use a D50 or D55 profile when preparing images for print. High end solutions like those from EIZO make switching profile for a different working setup easy because it's helpful to see the image on the monitor as close to the output medium as possible. At the moment I'm making an assessment of some prints and it'd be helpful to make some comparisons with profiles of different white points.
