  1. Discoloration on applications except for dock bar Windows 11 Pro


    Hello Microsoft!Just in the past 2 days, for no reason at all, my computer has been discolored. I noticed that, when using applications such as Discord or Chrome even, everything turns to a purple-ish hue. This has not every happened to me before, as I have just switched to a new windows system. I have installed all the latest GPU drivers and calibrated both my display and color management. Nothing has worked for me so far. This has gotten so bad that when I play games on full screen such as Minecraft, my FPS is limited and my resolution is grainy. The PC is a week old, all parts new.My specs:

    Surface pro 4 Dock Scaling problems

    No question this is a problem. And for those who dock and undock frequently, it's a HUGE problem. Rebooting after connecting or disconnecting does correct the problem, but it's certainly not a fix. I frequently have multiple apps open when I close the cover
    or dock/undock (e.g. I use sleep mode a lot). Having to close all my work in progress to reboot and then reopen everything just to fix scaling is too frustrating.

    A few suggestions to make the problem slightly more tolerable until Microsoft fixes this issue (this assumes your using the recommended 200% scaling)...

    • Suggestion 1: Boot your Surface disconnected from the dock and login, THEN connect to your dock. Windows will apply the high DPI scaling, which makes most of your non-Microsoft apps (e.g. Chrome, etc.) usable, though font readability does
      suffer. If Windows Explorer, Edge, or Microsoft Office apps were open before you docked, they'll have to be closed and reopened to reset the font scaling (otherwise they'll be quite large).
    • Suggestion 2: For non-Microsoft apps, you can disable the high DPI scaling per application. Find the application's EXE file, right-click and select properties, then click on the Compatibility tab. Check ON the "Disable display scaling
      on high DPI settings
      " option. This will disable the down-scaling that Windows applies, but of course your application will run at 200% normal size. In some cases, this may be more desirable. For example, I use this mode for my NetBeans IDE and Google
      Chrome and then use the preferences of those applications to set the font display size. It made both more readable and comfortable to use when docked.

    None of these are good workarounds. If you set scaling to 100%, everything is great when docked but entirely too small when just using the Surface 4 Pro's display (unless you're still under 40 with great eye sight).

    Come on Microsoft... you've got a great product in the Surface 4 Pro, so please get the dock scaling issue fixed.

    Discoloration on certain applications

    When i use certain applications, such as Steam and Discord, there is a major shift of discoloration, giving everything a slight purple hue. This has started affecting my default applications like Windows Explorer, where images will be displayed normally, but when opened with the default Photos app, the colors are very off. Attempting to calibrate my color management on my display will not help, as it will affect everything, and will still result in the aforementioned applications displaying the incorrect color hues.

    I attempted to change the cable from Display-port to HDMI but that was not the issue.

    Any help that will fix the color to display for ALL applications would be a big help.

    Here's an example of this discoloration affecting Windows Explorer and Photos app: imgur.com

    Discoloration on certain applications

    All solved, turns out i was using a default color ICC profile for my Dell Monitor in Color Management , but when switching to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (It might be named differently for others) and setting it as my default, it fixed all the color discoloration of every single application.
