Windows 10: No option to turn off HDR!!!!!!

Please Help! Plugged in a monitor to my laptop with Nvidia 3060 through an HDMI cord and switched on HDR in Windows 10. Now the second monitor is not being recognized and there is no option to turn off HDR in Windows. Windows will not let me Extend the display to the new monitor. Monitor is just black screen. Option under Display option says Disable this Monitor. System Restore point has been done. Nvidia Drivers have all been updated. Windows Update has been performed. Do not want to fresh install windows and loose all my data. Why is this happening?

I could turn on the HDR and WCG setting on initially today when I connected a new HDR TV.

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are unable to turn on HDR and WCG color settings in Windows 10. This issue might occur due to incompatible drivers.

I suggest you to roll back the display drivers and check if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press 'Windows
+ R' key together on your Keyboard.

2. Type 'devmgmt.msc' and hit enter.

3. Expand the display adapter option from the list.

4. Right click on the driver and click on 'Properties'.

5. Click on 'Driver' tab and check for 'Roll Back Driver'. If the roll back option is available, roll back the driver and restart the
computer.

If you are still facing issues with color after enabling HDR on your PC and if you’re using an HDMI connection and your display supports HDR over a DisplayPort connection, use DisplayPort instead to connect your PC and display.

• If HDMI is your only option, use that, and then do one of the following:
  

Reduce the frame rate

• 1. Select Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings, and then select Display adapter properties.
  2. In the display’s Properties box, select the Monitor tab, select 30 Hertz for the Screen refresh rate, and then select OK.

- OR -

Reduce the resolution

• 1. Select Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings, and then select Display adapter properties
  2. On the Adapter tab, select List All Modes.

In List All Modes, select the setting that includes 1920 by 1080, 60 Hertz, and then select OK.

Hope it helps.

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.
