The Export”button for color profiles in Windows 11 has disappeared
Previously, in System Color Management, users could save calibrated color profiles using the “Export” button to quickly restore them after uninstalling graphics drivers with DDU, thereby avoiding the need to recalibrate. However, the ‘Export’ button has now disappeared, and only the “Add Profile” option remains available. I would like to know the exact folder path where the system stores color profiles so that I can manually back them up and restore them.

Windows color profiles are stored by default in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color folder. Simply back up the .icm or .icc files in that directory.
Since the “Export” button disappeared, your best bet for quick restoration is to manually copy and replace the ICC files from your backup.
