(C:\ProgramData\ASUS\ASUS System Control Interface\AsusOptimization\Splendid: edit the "USER_my_sp_data.sys" and changing ICMExist= from YES to NO + change the file to Read Only to prevent Asus Optimization from overwriting it every time the computer restarted.)

@hadoooooouken hello,

It's because Visual Modes (in G-Helper) or Game Visual (in Amoury Crate) call AsusSplendid.exe to set them. And it in turn modifies color profile.

I see that you use VivoManual = 6 mode.

If you don't want visual modes to interfere, just select a Default mode and then on next launch G-Helper just won't launch AsusSplendid.exe at all. So you can set your custom colors under Intel Graphics Command Center.

Thanks

@hadoooooouken actually, I just realized that app would skip AsusSplendid call only for ROG / TUF devices, not for Vivobooks

This build should skip it for you as well (assuming you have Default selected)
