Windows 10: Is there an alternative HDR option for windows 10 than built in one?

I was getting random flickering when switching between windows and games were having weird issues, after reinstalling drivers and codecs, I finally figured it out. Windows HDR is causing the issues, it seems to be a bug, I am unsure.

My computer is brand new, custom built.

XFX THICC III ULTRA 5700XT

ASUS B550M PLUS

VIZIO V SERIES 65" UHD 4K TV

700W 80+ PSU

32GB PATRIOT VIPER RAM 3200mhz correctly set in bios.

RYZEN 7 3700X 3RD GEN

everything is good!

FULLY UPDATED, DRIVERS, WINDOWS, ETC.

Now that I have it disabled, the issues are gone, but the color depth is also gone, is there an alternative here for PC? or is windows built in HDR function the only option?

HDR Washed out on Windows 10

That was suggested in post number 3 I thought?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
