monitor doesnt detect any signal from pc after turning on hdr

Hello Oscar,

I'm , an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're facing with your monitor not detecting any signal after turning on HDR in Windows 11. Let's take steps to address this:

Boot into Safe Mode:

Try booting your computer into Safe Mode. Safe Mode uses basic graphics drivers and may allow you to access your system without HDR enabled. If you can successfully boot into Safe Mode, you can then disable HDR.

Use System Restore:

If Safe Mode doesn't resolve the issue, you can use System Restore to revert your system to a point before enabling HDR. To do this, type "Create a restore point" in the Windows search bar, go to the System Protection tab, and click on the "System Restore" button.

Check Graphics Drivers:

Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Go to the device manager, locate your graphics card, right-click, and select "Update driver." Alternatively, visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers.

Use HDMI or DisplayPort:

Ensure you are using an HDMI or DisplayPort cable that supports HDR. Using an incompatible cable may result in issues when enabling HDR.

Check Monitor Settings:

Access your monitor's on-screen menu and check if there are any specific settings related to HDR. Some monitors have their HDR settings that need adjustment.

Reset Monitor Settings:

If possible, reset your monitor settings to factory defaults. Refer to your monitor's manual for instructions on how to do this.

Check Windows Display Settings:

If you can access your desktop, go to Settings > System > Display. Under the HDR section, toggle the "Play HDR games and apps" switch. See if this resolves the issue.

Use Another Connection Port:

If you're using HDMI, try using DisplayPort or vice versa. Sometimes, certain ports may have compatibility issues with HDR.

If these steps don't resolve the problem, it may be helpful to contact your monitor manufacturer's support or seek assistance from Microsoft support. They may have specific troubleshooting steps for HDR-related issues.

I trust that these suggestions will help you address the issue. Feel free to contact me if you have further questions or need additional assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks,

Windows 10 HDR problems in full screen.

Hello moderator

1. Its all the games I own that don't support HDR10. Basically when I full screen on a non-HDR game, the screen goes black for a few seconds and HDR gets disabled and all the colors looked washed out (Like its in SDR)

I took 2 screenshots, One is in window mode, the other is in full screen

Windowed mode (HDR on) : imgur.com

Full screen mode (HDR off) : imgur.com

2. Yes SDR looks washed out. I want to play my games in full screen and in HDR. Playing in windowed mode is a nightmare

3. I know because the monitor goes black for a few seconds and all the colors look washed out (As shown in the screenshots)

Sadly the fixes did not work

I updated the GPU drivers via GeForce Experience app.

My Monitor does support 4k HDR10

I tried lower the resolution and the refresh rate but that did not work.

Here is a video of my problem

YouTube Link :

Time Stamps :

0:00 HDR mode is on everything looks fine (In the video, when it looks high contrast, that means HDR is on)

0:35 I full screen the game. If you notice the high contrast is no longer there, the colors are washed out

0:46 I disable full screen and HDR mode is back on

*HDR looks high contrast, Ignore that, that's just the video itself.

Im also using windows 10 64bit 1809
