Windows 10: Haunted by "HDR-ready display detected" Notifications Win11

I have a Lenovo laptop running a fully updated Windows 11 22H2. The laptop's hardware supports only HDR streaming, only on the builtin monitor, and doesn't support HDR at all on external monitors, due to early versions of HDMI and DP over USB-C interfaces.Recently, I purchased a new monitor that supports HDR and connected it to the laptop. Obviously, HDR cannot be shown on it since the laptop HW is too old to support it. I get it - it's not the issue here.The problem is that under certain conditions, the system harasses me with continuous "HDR-ready display detected" notifications. These notif

HDR capability not detected by some games. Like games using the Frostbite engine.

Hi TommyHildizzle，

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

The Xbox feature in Windows 11 will automatically enable HDR (provided you have a graphics card with minimum performance requirements). In fact, Battlefield 1 and 5 games support HDR, so if your PC has HDR enabled automatically, the game will be enabled by default.

Given your situation so far, I would suggest you check here to calibrate your monitor's HDR functionality and troubleshoote that aspect.

Then turn on the "Auto HDR" setting by following these steps:

1. Select the Start button, then enter settings.select Settings > System > Display.
   
2. If you have multiple displays, select your HDR-capable display at the top.
   
3. Turn on Use HDR, then select More options.
   
4. Turn on Auto HDR.
   
5. Go back to the game to see if HDR is enabled.
   

On the other hand, go to Start - Settings -Windows Update - Update History to see what updates have been installed recently and I can help you check the update history to see if any recent updates have reported issues with HDR.

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
