This tutorial will show you how to export (backup) a color profile for a display in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
A color profile is file containing information about how a monitor will display accurate and consistent colors.

Usually, the color profiles ("ICM" or "ICC" files) available for your monitor come in the driver package or the installation disc. You can also download color profile files (if available) from the monitor manufacturer's website.
You can improve the color on your display by...

For example, if you want to restore an older version of a file (even if it wasn't deleted or lost), you can browse through a timeline, select the version you want, and restore it.
If you use File History, you can add File History to the...
