> For those saying that removing the ICC profile will fix the issue, what does this actually do? What am I losing by removing the ICC profile from my device?
A colour profile tells the system (in great detail) how to modify all colours in an effort to make them appear more physically accurate, in theory. This is to compensate for measured inaccuracies in your monitor.
If you generated the profile yourself using colourimeter equipment then by removing the profile you would lose colour accuracy across the rest of the desktop (but fix a small number of apps like Chrome and Image Viewer).
If you didn't make the profile yourself and are just using the built-in one then you lose nothing by removing it. You will get the raw original colours from apps instead, and that avoids this bug.
