Windows 10: Help! Computer Color Display Messed Up!

So I was playing games, and I pressed the windows key to check the time. All of a sudden my monitor colors changed. I reset my computer, and my color display was back to normal. But whenever I play games and I press windows button or alt+tab, my display colors change again. I really don't want to reset my computer every single time so I need a solution ASAP! Thank you!

If you mess with Calibrate display color. settings... can you reset it?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way

Follow the steps below and check if that resolves the issue:

Method 1:

I would suggest you to try the steps under the section “Calibrate your display” to perform color calibration in Windows 10. Check if it helps.

"Get the best display on your monitor"

Method 2:

Install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps. If Windows 10 drivers are not available in the computer manufacturer website, you may install the latest display drivers in
compatibility mode.

To install the display driver
in compatibility mode, I would suggest you to follow these steps.

a. Download the latest display driver for Windows 10 from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

b. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

c. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
select Windows 8 from the drop down list.

e. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.
