Windows 10: What key combination messes with the contrast on a desktop PC?

I was playing a game got mad hit the keyboard and suddenly everything is ridiculously contrasted. I can find absolutely no help on the internet and there is no way to contact an actual person, as i've been trying for 2 days now. Someone help please. I finally got to where i messed with HDR and that helped obviously a temporary solution but didn't fix the actual problem. I have a 4K monitor and can only have half the HDR now and it sucks. Help please.

:)

Key combinations not working

Thanks for following up. In here, you can find the list of all the keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10. Check it out and
see which key combinations are still working on Windows 10, and which are not.

We also tested on our end and only the Alt + F and Alt + P are working fine, and this is on a PC that is on the Fall Creators Update. May we suggest that you update your operating system to 1709 and see if the key combinations will work.

We'll keep an eye out to your response.
