Windows 10: Is there a known issue for recent Windows update regarding HDR?

Windows isn't handling HDR properly after a recent update. Is there a known issue?It keeps switching between correct rendering and incorrect rendering, causing apps to lose colors and everything to be whited out.

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.

Windows HD color settings HDR issue

Hi, I've no idea if this is related; reading
KB5000842 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.906 and v20H2 19042.906
it says

- suggesting at least that MS has been fiddling around in that area.

You might try uninstalling that update.

Compare:
KB5001330 CU Windows 10 v2004 build 19041.928 and v20H2 19042.928
