    Dull Desktop Background Colors? Z25O-g7Z2WoQfpZEUZmgvP2RKetZaDduBLd13Val2v4.jpg

    Hi, does anyone know why when I set an image as my desktop background, the colors are much duller than the original image?



    Desktop Version



    Original Image

    Thanks for any help rectifying this. The original image is a jpeg btw.

    I just realised as well that the colors look much better when viewing the original image in the Windows 10 Photos app. Just looking at the images I've provided, it still looks nowhere near as good as in the app.

  3. Dull screen needs help

    Bulldogxx I tried both ways suggested the article that offered step by step and neither system solved the dull colors, dull screen problem. All they did was rearrange my desktop. Any other suggestions?

    Sorry about the sassy rejoinder to your sassy remark, I think they are both funny now that I am old and don't take myself seriously.

    Close all open windows, restart the computer once and then login to the computer to check if that helps.
