  1. HDR made one of my monitors dark and the cursor disappeared


    I was messing around in xbox game bar when I noticed HDR option, so I used it, and now one of my monitors that was HDR incompatible is now much darker and mouse cursor is invisible but it's still there because I can click and use things. Everything looks normal when I am in some games but once I turn off the game it's still messed up. How can I fix it?

    :)

    Mouse Pointer Disappears in Windows 10 - HDR and WCG issue

    Hello,

    I am working with a Dell laptop that I have connected to my BenQ 4k UHD display via a USB-C connection. I was adjusting settings when I noticed that my mouse pointer (a.k.a. cursor) disappeared from both the laptop screen and my BenQ monitor. After trying
    all sorts of crazy suggestions, I found that turning off the HDR and WCG setting in the Display settings fixed this issue. I would like to use the HDR settings, so I hope a fix will come soon.

    Thanks,

    Trevor

    HDR on HDR monitor causes issue on secondary, non-HDR monitor

    I have an Aorus AD27QD (HDR) monitor as my primary display and an ultrawide 34UM88-P (Non-HDR) as my secondary. If HDR is enabled in windows and I go to a full screen video on the non-HDR monitor after a few seconds it will flicker blue then become severely
    washed out. Coming out of full screen fixes this. If HDR is not enabled full screen shows the colors perfectly normally.

    Secondarily, with windows HDR on on the Aorus, the colors dim pretty drastically. HDR content great but anything that isnt HDR is dim enough to make me question if my brightness is turned down. (Its not, its 90/100). The white of a plain browser window
    seems so dim its nearly grey. I also tested this on what I know is a particularly vibrant (non-HDR) . HDR on? Terrible and muted. HDR off? Bright and vibrant.

    I have played with in-monitor settings, nvidia control panel, factory reset of monitor, basically everything I can think of. Everything points to it being a windows issue.

    I also tried out the suggestions from this post. And it pointed me to this
    set of OS release notes
    which didnt solve my issue either.

    I could really use some help because I am really feeling like I wasted my money on this monitor.

    PC:

    i5 7600k

    GTX 1080ti

    16GB 3000Hz Corsair RAM

    Windows, CPU and GPU on latest drivers available.

    Monitors:

    LG 34UM88-P (HDMI)

    Aorus AD27QD (DisplayPort)
