Steps:
Setup.exe file → Run as Administrator.Pro tip: On some business laptops (Summit, Prestige series), True Color is bundled inside the “MSI Display Control” driver. Download that instead. Install Msi True Color
If you select a mode but the screen looks the same:
powershell -command "& Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms; [System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::PrimaryScreen.BitsPerPixel"
# If not 32:
msiexec /fvomus "YourApp.msi" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
Starting 2021, MSI distributes True Color as a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app. This method is the cleanest but requires pre-installed drivers. If MSI Center fails, manually download the driver package
Solution:
Modern versions of True Color require the MSI Foundation Service. To get this: Extract the ZIP file
Warning: Windows Update often overwrites custom color profiles. Disable automatic driver updates from Windows Settings temporarily during installation.
Once installed, using the software is straightforward.
