I know this issue was resolved previously (#68069 and #72373). The --force srgb trick still works, but for the past few weeks it was not necessary.

@deepak1556 looks like this was fixed originally by an electron update, something regress here?

Just wanted to update that the latest update still has this issue. --force srgb still works but had to reimplement it.

Seems like a regression from upstream chromium, will have to wait for a fix from them. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1038770

If we cannot get a fix, we should make sure force-color-profile is a supported option for argv.json (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/3aa5383/src/main.js#L128)

I second this. I love that you guys are updating and working on this amazing free software, but it's admittedly annoying and inconvenient to have to keep putting this in. At the very least, stop re-creating the shortcut after updates?
