Windows 10: Is there a way to make Windows 11 automatically load SDR and HDR ICC profiles?

I have 2 ICC color profiles that I use: One for SDR, and the other an Advanced Profile for HDR.When I switch to HDR mode, Windows 11 only uses the SDR Profile. I have to manually go to Color Management and change the Default to the Advanced Profile.Then, when I switch back to SDR, Windows 11 still loads the Advanced ICC Profile, and I have to go back to Color Management and make my SDR ICC Profile the Default.Is there a reason why Windows 11 refuses to load the correct ICC profiles for SDR and HDR? These things should be automatic, but it doesn't appear that it is unless I'm using the wrong

Windows 10 HDR & SDR

Hi i would like to know is it possible in windows 10 to watch a HDR content on a SDR monitor so it looks like a proper SDR content.

Because more and more movies is HDR and on my HDR tv it is all great even in windows playing HDR content AND SDR content on HDR screen works properly. Problem is when playing HDR content on normal pc monitor picture is way to dark contrast is all wrong.
Yea i can fix it in some way in the players with the brightness and gamma sliders but it still doesnt look like the original sdr content.

I would like to fix this issue because soon al my video content will be in HDR but i am not always vieving this on HDR screen. Sometimes i would like to watch it on my phone or my pc or my friends house and in all those places with SDR screens looks way
worse than a normal SDR content.

 

HDR mode and color profiles

Hello

I have a calibrated ICC profile for normal sRGB mode. When i switch to HDR mode, it still using the calibrated profile, and giving weird colors and white balance.

I have tried to add a Rec.2020 HDR profile to ICC-profile (Advance color) list in color management. But I can´t use it at standard colors in HDR mode. Nothing happens when i try to applied it.

So to be clear:

In normal mode I want to use calibrated icc profile for sRGB.

And in HDR mode, using the standard REC.2020 icc profile.

 

Windows 10 HDR & SDR

Hi, jursleglov

If I understand correctly, you want to play HDR content on your PC with an SDR display. This may be possible, but it will depend on the app and probably also on hardware.

The Movies & TV app in Windows can support this on non-HDR laptops that have a sufficiently-bright display. The reason why it is limited to laptops is that there needs to be OS control of brightness settings (not available for external monitors) and some
OS influence of LCD backlight operation (Windows doesn't control the backlight but gives suggestions to the display driver based on the kind of content being shown).
