How do you change display color profiles in Windows 8?

I wondered if anyone here uses X-Rite ColorMunki to calibrate their display in Windows 8 or 8.1? It does make the display much dimmer than normal and it looks a good bit more yellow too. I understand this may be normal to calibrate to work on processing pictures. I want to know how to switch between the calibrated profile and the normal display profile so I can use it for watching movise and pretty much everything except processing photos, then switch to the calibrated profile for that. Any help will be much appreciated.

james, goto CONTROL PANEL and select COLOR MANAGEMENT. You can add the sRGB ICC profile and then switch them whenever. It should be showing your current Munki profile.

My personal suggestion is to get rid of Windows 8 just as quickly as you can. It was never considered good, or stable, and I believe you may be get if for free, which is the best price! Go to Microsoft on line and check it out. I don't consider Windows 10 fantastic, but it's a lot better and a lot more stable and compatible than Windows 8. est of luck.
