Can anyone suggest any solution for it?

 

USB-C connected Monitor become inactive after HDR is turned on in Windows 10

This very similar question has actually been asked here, however the answer with a whole bunch of links didn't help.

I have one HP laptop connecting to the two monitors below:

• LG ULTRAFINE which supports HDR - connect using USB-C to USB-C
  
• LG monitor which does not support HDR - connect using USB-C to HDMI
  

The laptop itself also does not support HDR.

Both monitors connected as extended, not duplicated, all was working fine.

Then today In windows 10 Display Settings, I noticed the option to turn on HDR, so I turned it on.

Once turned on, the LG ULTRAFINE immediately blacked out. and the HDR on/off setting in Windows display settings disappeared.

I can now still see three monitors in the 'Rearrange your displays' area. However, I can only duplicate output to the ULTRAFINE monitor.

Trying to Extend to the ULTRAFINE, it goes blank again.

Trying to show only on the ULTRAFINE, it automatically set itself to 'Disconnect this display'.

Also tried to use the short-cut keys Windows+Alt+B to toggle HDR which didn't help.

Then I connected the laptop to the ULTRAFINE with a HDMI cable, the monitor can then be extended to again, even with HDR turned on.

So it looks like although Windows was able to detect the ULTRAFINE can support HDR while the monitor was connected through USB-C, HDR isn't really supported by USB-C connection. So once HDR is turned on, the monitor blacks out. BTW, the USB-C cable came with the ULTRAFINE.

Now the question is: How can I reverse the change, so that I can extend to the ULTRAFINE with USB-C again with HDR off?

Please do not just drop a bunch of links in here, as most of the links people drops in their replies really isn't related to the question asked. I'm looking for peoople who really understand what the problem is and how to resolve it. For example, if you know how I can tell windows don't try to send HDR to the USB-C connection any more, without using the HDR switch in Display Settings, that would be really great!

Thank you!
