Microsoft Photo Viewer automatically applies yellow tint to photos

Microsoft Photo Viewer applies a yellow filter to all images when I try to view them, if I'm skipping between photos quickly there's a short glimpse of the normal photo before the filter is applied.

This doesn't permennantly change the images however it makes it hard to see the quality of the photos. Unlike any previous issues I can find online it's only the photo that's yellowish not the background.

I've tried to fix this by removing the colour profiles and restarting my pc however this didn't help.

I'm currently using windows 10

Thanks in advance,

Harvey

Ok

now i solved it

I solved following this guide:

  1. go to Colour Management (search in the search folder)
  2. select the monitor you are looking the photo into (IMPORTANT! i did it once and did'nt worked because i was selecting the wrong monitor)
  3. check Use My Profile
  4. remove the current color profile
  5. add a new profile and select sRGB IEC61966-2.1 under ICC Profiles
  6. close and reboot

If you don't whant to remove the colour profile, you can try to add a new one and select it as a default profile.

Hope this help
