Oh yes. I seem to have gone up several steps in the technical
competence of my contacts in my discussions. Right now they are either
enjoying the weekend or trying to work out what to do next.

Maybe some service has it open. Try in safe mode,
just to limit what starts up.

I tried that but Spyder won't run in safe mode. It can't find any
monitors so shuts down.

This is a longshot, but I wonder about moving
out the other ICMs temporarily. Also maybe
look for a config file or settings. It's possible the
software is operating on its own erroneous info.
(This is really grasping at straws, but I'm thinking
something like a recorded value indicating that it
needs to replace the Dell ICM. It seems reasonable
to suspect a bug in the logic of the software.)

Another possibility, after backing up ICMs,
might be to try FileAssassin to unlock the files
without deleting them. I've had good luck with
it for getting rid of weird locks, like where I
accidentally click two things almost simultaneously
and end up with a file I can't delete. FA is mainly
for deleting such stuck files, but it can also be
used to unlock without deleting. (If you have an ICM
that won't move that might be a sign of a faulty
file lock.)

I know this sounds crazy, but earlier up the thread you mentioned that
you had two graphics cards. Is there some way of disabling the on board
card, or changing the priority? I wonder if they are fighting each other.

spyder has handled multiple displays since a very long time ago.

And that has what to do with graphics card conflict?

seriously?

spyder handles more than one display. that means it handles more than
one graphics card.

Single cards often drive multiple displays with separate profiles for
each display. Such is the case here.

Your statement doesn't mean that there cannot be a driver, or priority
conflict,

nothing indicates there is.

if there was a driver issue, then there would be a lot more going on
than just spyder.
