To begin with, try to disable 16bit and check that "auto brightness" is
on.
> Working colour space is set to SRGB
> When the profile of an image does not match the working colour space - 'Ask when opening the image'
> When an image has no colour profile information - 'Ask when opening the image'

Try to set "Automatic Color Correction".
> Monitor Profile is set to sRGB
If you get a reasonable picture, then try to change the options one by
one.
