In your first post, the screenshot comparison with the slight difference in saturation might be because Affinity is colour managing your image correctly.

So the reason Affinity now looks the same as your other software is because nothing is being colour managed. Therefore what's happening is that you're disabling colour management entirely, launching Affinity with it disabled, then when you activate the ICC profile that change doesn't refresh within Affinity (until you restart).

This is inadvertently having the wrong effect: I believe the way Affinity colour manages on Windows means that the profile is applied during startup, but cannot be changed or refreshed during app use. Try switching to Displaycal and using their profile loader and see if the problem persists. I find Displaycal does a better job than any of the commercial software I've used. I've never seen any colour difference between Affinity Photo and any of my other colour managed apps (the images look identical when viewed side-by-side). This solves the problem and will reapply the calibration as necessary. This is the reason that Displaycal comes with its own profile loader, which you need to check when installing the display profile after calibrating and profiling your monitor. It's also possible to lose the calibration if some other process resets it as the Windows profile loader won't reload it. You might be running into problems with limitations of the Windows profile loader, which according to the developer of Displaycal, scales incorrectly and has poor 8-bit quantization. It sounds like your calibration might have been reset by some other app and then when you activated the ICC profile after Affinity started, it reloaded the calibration as it should and you then see the correct colours. Maybe this helps to track down the problem? It builds, appears on settings as something functional but offers no functionalities.I have just realized when I deactivate the ICC profile and open Affinity and activate the ICC profile after Affinity is started Affinity shows exactly the same colors like any other software. So, it feels the module is in a zombie mode just a GUI without any possibility to use it.
(ICC profile created with Displa圜al, ex DispCalGUI, a software who propose to copy the ICC after creation to colord).
It also doesn't launch anything at new start-up. Load/Assign an existing ICC profile to a monitor wasn't working either: The ICC are listed correctly as child of the monitor in the GUI tree, the checkbox can be switched active/inactive to a target profile but switching and applying it has no consequences on the appearance on the color of the monitor. Calibrate a monitor and create a new ICC doesn't work: it launches the wizard (a dialog similar to Gnome2/MATE/Cinnamon) and after replying to the questions/options and pressing 'next' a couple of time to reach the final button, it finally failed and wasn't able to identify the monitor.
What doesn't work more precisely is the core of the module: On the bright side, the module still appears on the Settings manager and all the GUI buttons still appears and are clickable.

I ran various test on Ubuntu based KDE desktop (KDE Neon and Kubuntu 20.04LTS, full install) to get an idea of the state of Plasma for artist/graphist and it looks like color-management is broken.
