Cotty< not in Windows. that is why it is so complicated. the OS itself doesn't care and doesn't use anything. the video card device driver can be configured, but that is specific to the hardware vendor's device drivers and optional. many don't have any such setting. that is why Adobe invented the Adobe Gamma program. it runs at startup and stays resident to load a pre-stored monitor profile created that has the correct gamma. you have to create that profile with another Adobe-supplied part of Adobe Gamma. it is completely up to applications and device drivers to load and use color profiles in Windows. something like Adobe Gamma should have been part of the OS. that is why there are only a handful of image editing programs that can be used for serious photographic manipulation in Windows. they are the ones that know what color profile has been loaded for a monitor and actually use it when displaying images.
