  1. Starting fullscreen games changes my monitor color (WIN 10)


    Hey guys.

    Evertime i start Games in fullscreen it changes my monitor color (of both monitors) and when i close the game it turns back to normal. I already disabled Game mode in Windows 10, i disabled Game DVR, i disabled all "auto game modes" of my monitors. I have no idea if its a Nvidia based problem or if its a windows based problem i hope you can help me.

    PC Specs: Win 10 Home Version 1909

    RTX 2070 + i7 9700k + 16 GB DDR4 ram + MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon

  2. Changing the taskbar color to white in Windows 10

    Hi Michael,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    In Windows 10 there is no option for changing the color to white but you can change it to different colors. To change the color of the task bar I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • In the search box, type settings.
    • Then select personalization.
    • Click on color option on the left side.
    • You will find an option called “show color on start, taskbar and start icon”.
    • You need to on the option and then you can change the color accordingly.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Creators update- games ignore nvidia ctrl panel color profile

    Hey,

    Need help with this asap because I am running out of ideas.

    I am manually adjusting colors with nvidia control panel since stock colors on TN panels suck.

    Since creators update, when I run fullscreen game, my colors revert to stock ones and even my desktop picks
    it up when I exit or alt tab. I can only fix it with changing resolution or something signal related back and forth or with restarting pc.

    Desktop and everything is fine. It only happens when I run games in fullscreen.

    Things I've tried:



    • 3 times reinstalled creators update including clean install once !
    • Sfc/scannow, dism scanhealth/checkhealth show no errors
    • Disk cleanup
    • Different drivers, currently on latest one.
    • Night mode on/off
    • Game mode on/off
    • Unpluging monitor
    • removing profiles in color management from display properties



    I am using xl2411 zowie TN panel 144 hz connected with Dual Dvi.
    Single monitor.


    Edit: I believe that source of the problem is a new feature which you can access by right clicking any exe, properties-compatibility tab and there is tick box called "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations globally".
    Enabling it resolves some of the problems and SOME games tends to pick up the color at start but they still (all of them) break on alt tab.


    Update: Windows insiders build 16199

    • We fixed an issue resulting in color profiles being ignored after launching certain fullscreen games.


    It would be nice if people on insiders can confirm that this problem is 100 % fixed.
