Windows 10 - change from 8-bit to 16-bit

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



May I know, if you are trying to run the program in Windows 10 as Reduced color mode from 8-bit to 16-bit, or you are trying to change the video settings within the software itself?



If you are trying to run the software in reduce color mode, you can follow the steps below.



Method 1: Change Reduced color mode through compatibility settings.

1. Right click on the program icon.
   
2. Click on Properties
   
3. Click on Compatibility tab.
   
4. Check Reduced color mode from the settings.
   
5. Change the color mode from
   8-bit color to 16-bit color.
   

Method 2: Edit Video with Roxio.



If you are trying to change the settings within the software, I suggest you refer this article to

edit video with Roxio.



If you have any further question regarding the settings on the software, I suggest you get in touch with the
Roxio Support, for better solution.



Additional information:

Hope it helps.

Does Windows 10 support 16-bit color display?

I am using a laptop that uses AMD Radeon HD 7640G + 7670M dual graphics 1 GB. I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and found that there are no options to change the color to 16-bit. My laptop cannot handle 32-bit color as it makes my screen keeps blinking
with horizontal lines. I'll try to update my graphics driver, but is there any way that Windows 10 can support 16-bit color display? Thank you.

 

Color bit depth is at 6-bit on Display properties of Windows 10 pro

Try the below suggested steps and check if the suggested options are available to change the Color bit Depth value

1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Expand the Display, and then highlight the Change resolution.
3. On the right side, check if there is 8 bpc listed under
   Output color depth.
4. You may select 8 bpc and restart the device to witness the changes.
