How do I restore the default color and settings on the display?  I've tried to find a "default" option within in the color calibration process, but don't see an option.

Hi LSSolomon,

  1. Have you recently done any changes to the computer?
  2. Have you done any changes to the theme settings on the desktop?

If you have calibration enabled for display then you may disable calibration loading by Windows. You must be logged on with a user account that has administrative privileges to make the below changes -

  1. Open Color Management by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type color management, and then click Color Management.
  2. Click the Advanced tab, and click Change system defaults.
  3. Click the Advanced tab in the Color Management - System Defaults dialog box, and do one of the following:
  • To prevent Windows from loading display calibrations, clear the Use Windows display calibration check box.
  1. Click Close in the Color Management - System Defaults dialog box.
  2. Click Close in the Color Management dialog box.

You may also refer to the below links for further assistance on the issue -

    This 8-year-old thread has veered off topic and is now locked.

    If you need help, please read the following articles and ask your own new question in the section of Microsoft Community that is appropriate for both your version of Windows and your particular problem.

    How to begin your own, new thread about your computer & your problem

    How to ask a question

    When a display turns all one color, e.g., all pink or all blue, it generally means that there is a hardware problem.  This could be a loose cable (which is internal on laptops) or that the monitor/screen is defective or that the video card is defective. 

    There are other possibilities, so if this is your issue, be sure to include detailed information about your computer (make and specific model), your monitor (make and specific model -- if you have a desktop or tower computer), your version of Windows, and what happened to your system shortly before the problem started (e.g., updated a driver, had a power failure, cat knocked the computer or monitor off the desk, etc.).
