    monitors display wrong color but printing is fine


    My computer shows green for yellow on both of my 2 (TWO) monitors but there is no problem with printing anything in yellow. My video driver is up-to-date [ntel(R) HD Graphics 4600]. All other colors are both correctly displayed and printed. This problem is stable and has been going on for a while. I would prefer not to replace the computer which is working fine otherwise but will have to if I can't solve this problem. Thank you.

    :)

    Color Display on 2nd monitor

    I am using Windows 10 on a Dell laptop with a 2nd monitor which has been working fine. For some unknown reason I have suddenly lost the full color range on the 2nd monitor. I don't know if I have changed some setting by accident or what. I have tried
    resetting the defaults but that didn't change anything on the 2nd monitor. The primary screen on the laptop continues to work fine. Any suggestions what needs to be done to restore the full color range on monitor #2?

    Color printing

    Although printer states it's printing in color, and it shows up in print preview, pages are only printed in black and white. This started with Windows 10. It was working fine prior to that. Any suggestions?

    monitors display wrong color but printing is fine

    Some windows are displayed in wrong colors

    After an update yesterday when I open Chrome, Whatsapp or some other application they are initially shown with the appropriate colors, but after a few seconds all colors get changed in a wrong way.

    Steaming videos like Youtube or Twitch are displayed ok, no distortion there. The same goes for games, in game colors are ok.

    I have tried clean installs on the gpu drivers, but had no luck. I have all the latest updates for Windows and AMD Radeon.

    For example:

    • Blue is displayed as Green
    • Green is displayed as Purple
    • Yellow is displayed as Magenta
    • Red is displayed as Orange

    I can provide DxDiag extracts and screenshots if necessary.

    Regards,

    Damian
