  1. Bit Depth (Color Depth) of my display is too low


    Hey,


    When I install Intel UHD Graphics Driver, Windows 10 reports the bit depth to be 6 bits only..Please refer to the below screenshot


    When I uninstall Intel UHD Graphics Driver, bit depth increases to 8 bits...


    Why is this so?


    And even 8 bits is too low... Ideally, it should be 32 bits... Why doesn't Windows 10 report 32 bits ?


    I am running Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 7570 Laptop

    The color depth on mango device.

    Hi ,all, the color depth on mango device are 16bit or 32 bit? I have using xaml to create a gradient in my app, but the render result doesn't look good, acturally the color looks wired.

    I am confused with these

    What is the difference with a 256K and a 262K color depths?

  4. Bit Depth (Color Depth) of my display is too low

    Color Bit Depth is Stuck at 8 bit - Display adapter mode says 32 bit

    Build 17.rs_prerelease677.180520-0940 is my current release. There was an update that failed and changes were rolled back.

    In Settings:

    Now in the Windows Display settings says "Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (recommended)"

    Click on "Advanced Settings" Both monitors say "Bit depth: 8-bit"

    Click "Display adapter properties (either monitor)"

    AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series Properties opens.

    Click "List all modes"

    "1920 by 1080, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz" is selected!

    The Display, Desktop, Photos, Movies are in 8-bit 256 Color mode and look really bad!

    How to fix this?

    Windows has problems responding at times.

    I rolled the Display driver back to a previous release... Had to reset the computer because it froze.

    On reboot it is on the rolled-back driver level, but still wrong.
