  1. Color Distortion During Gaming


    Recently I played a few unity games in fullscreen which somehow had swapped their colorsblue became yellow, etc., and now whenever I launch a fullscreen game, the colors become distorted like in the unity game.


    I also used a game called DiRT Rally and manage to invert the effects: All windowed applications and the desktop had the color inverted, or distorted in other words. It was a one way trip, and it was done by it's accept changes system in the game, which will reset the colors to usual if I turn off and turn on fullscreen on it.


    This bug/glitch was never found until those unity games were installed, and my antivirus is not detecting anything. I also did fully update my drivers and tried restarting the computer several times. Restarting the computer also reverts the fullscreen applications to have the color distortion. I would also like to state I got the games from a trustworthy source, unlike other areas. Still, I would like to have this glitch/bug removed. It does nothing else except annoy me with the color changes.


    Laptop Specs:

    Brand: Lenovo

    Model: Ideapad 110-15ACL

    OS: Windows 10

    CPU: AMD A6 APU

    Graphics Driver: AMD Radeon R4 Graphics

    Color Distortion During Gaming

    sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

    This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

    I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
    tab" as step #5 suggests.

    Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

    Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

    Thanks for your continued help.
