If you have recently upgraded to Win 10 and are having color issues in your applications, such as Light Room or Photo Shop, you need to ensure that your monitor profile is set to be the Windows default.
Here's how...
1. Open Control Panel
2. Double click 'Color Managment'
3. In the 'Devices' tab you should see your display and the graphics adapter you're using.
4. Next, be sure the "Use my settings for this device is" checked.
5. Now, look in the "Profiles associated with this device:" box.
**It is possible that the box may not have an entry, or there may be one or more profiles listed.
If there is more than one profile, select the one you want, and then click the 'Set as Default Profile" button. When you're done, click "Close"
If the box does not have a profile listed, you'l need to add it:
1. Click the "Add" button
2. In the "Associate Color Profile" dialog box, scroll through the list of ICC profiles.
3. Select the ICC profile you want and then click 'OK".
4. Select the newly added profile and then click the "Set as Default Profile" button
5. Click "Close"
6. Close Control Panel
When making changes such as this, it's a good idea to restart your computer. You should be good to go!
Preston, very timely. I'm working through the update / upgrade right now. Takes me longer as I have two internal drives mirrored. As a quick look I did not see my monitor listed in the upper Device line area where the little monitor is at. How did you get that in that selection? The ICC profile it's there and set as default already.
Preston, I double checked both drive settings as you had emailed me about and all is looking good......thanks again.

Here is additional information to go along with Preston's info. I didn't realize that the monitor profile for my monitor was bad, and had lots of color issues after installing Win 10. Changing the profile to a standard profile cured the issue :).

Your solution to use a standard profile such as sRGB is the way to go for someone who does not have calibration tools to create their own profile.
In this case, it's a good idea to leave any color adjustments in the video card's control panel set to default.
Here's the thread where Rob discusses the issue he was having.
