    Why are 'Play HDR game and apps' & 'Use WCG apps' functions cannot be enable on a laptop...


    My laptop is a Thinkpad X1 Extreme, and it comes with a 4K resolution Dolby Vision HDR built-in display, and the graphic cards are the Intel UHD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA GTX1050Ti Q-Max.


    In the Display settings on Windows 10 Version 1909, only the 'Streaming HDR video' function can be enabled, but the 'Play HDR game and apps' and 'Use WCG apps' functions cannot be enabled on the built-in display.


    As soon as I connect my TV which supports HDR10 to the laptop, these two functions can be enabled right away on this TV.


    I wondering why the 'Play HDR game and apps' & 'Use WCG apps' functions are not available on a built-in display? Is it related to the display hardware, or the graphic card driver, or something else?

    :)

    HDR WCG won't enable on Windows 10

    MSI 43GSVR 7Re laptop with 6gb Nvidia 1060

    Samsung 32hg70 monitor

    HDMI 2.0 connected to laptop using only Samsung monitor as display

    HDR WCG is an available option to turn on (SDR slider is greyed out for some reason) - once turned on, Windows 10 asks 'Do you want to keep these settings?" Choose Yes,
    but HDR WCG remains off.

    Both the 1060 and monitor are HDR capable. Both laptop and monitor are HDMI 2.0

    Any thoughts on why HDR won't turn on?
