    Why is HDR on windows 10 so broken?


    Why the hell is HDR on windows 10 so borked?

    I mean a HDR switch? really? also the fact that HDR gets disabled from overlays, volume controls.

    The fact that windows 10 color profile is SD? and switches to HDR and back...why?

    Potplayer/MadVR - fullscreen exclusive issues.

    4:2:0, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 vs RGB, can't we just decide on a standard going forward?

    It's the same with G-sync and VRR, can't stuff just work without all this fiddling?

    Using a C9 with a 2080ti, nothing but fiddling around for different content.

    Microsoft and Nvidia need to go back to the drawing board and redesign HDR on windows properly from the ground up.

    Anyway after installing Windows May update and 450.99 clean i get a mouse overlay square in chrome youtube when watching 4K60 HDR content now. something to do with mouse overlay/shadow/trails conflicting with HDR.. stuffed if i know. seems like a rare old reported problem, seems like the only solution is to reinstall windows Why is HDR on windows 10 so broken? :(

    This is the exact problem i am having, posted by someone else https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fHs7DlKR40wdbV-qYNtWgyUvDum7Xm12/view
