Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of DisplayCAL 3.8.8.0.

What's new in this version:

Changed:
- Enhancement Detect and warn about malformed colorimeter corrections (e.g. from non-official sources). Move them to the trash automatically if they were previously (manually) installed
- Enhancement Always enumerate instruments on application startup if more than one instrument was detected the last time the application was used
(cross-platform consistency)
- Enhancement When prompting for instrument calibration, display the just now detected instrument name instead of the previously enumerated name (the latter might be stale if you forgot to refresh after changing connected instruments)
- Enhancement Use a slightly improved smoothing method when creating high resolution PCS to device tables
- Enhancement Increase automatic PCS to device table resolution for L*a*b* LUT profiles to 45x45x45 if using smoothing
- Enhancement UI Only auto-close profile/3D LUT installation dialog after a successful installation
- Enhancement Don't auto-close madTPG after 3D LUT installation
- Enhancement macOS: Warn if a black luminance calibration target is set
- Enhancement Profile loader (Windows): Use a minimally faster method to check for other running applications

Fixed:
- Minor madVR 3D LUT generation: Always write D65 white to 3D LUT input primaries metadata so madVR does not attempt to correct whitepoint differences on its own when using a custom whitepoint (the 3D LUT itself will map the custom whitepoint correctly)
- Minor madVR 3D LUT installation: Don't attempt to install 3D LUTs with unsupported input primaries metadata (i.e. not Rec. 709, SMPTE C, EBU/PAL, Rec. 2020 or DCI P3) as madVR will overwrite the metadata depending on the 3D LUT install slot. Such 3D LUTs should only be assigned manually in madVR instead
- Trivial UI When loading settings, always enable the 3D LUT tab if the display is virtual (consistent with display selection behavior)
- Trivial Also apply black point correction when creating a matrix profile without black point compensation (consistency)
- Trivial Do not create swapped matrix fallback tags for XYZ LUT profiles when using the alternate forward profiler and the used ArgyllCMS version is >= 2.1 (be consistent with ArgyllCMS)
- Trivial madVR 3D LUT generation: Accept negative values for input primaries metadata
- Trivial madVR 3D LUT installation (Linux, macOS): Send the 3D LUT in chunks and increase the timeout to prevent the installation failing over a slow network   (e.g. WiFi)
- Cosmetic UI Profile loader (Windows): Prevent a stale tray icon remaining (until mouse over) in some rare cases after exiting the profile loader
- Trivial Profile loader (Windows 7): Skip incomplete display configuration registry entries
