Windows 10: Windows update build 2004 display driver/brightness/contrast issue

Hello!


I had to roll back to an older build from "2004" because after the update when I start my pc OR switching from hdmixbox input to display portpc on the same monitor, the monitor contrast/brightness turns darker by a lot. I can only fix it by turning off then on the monitor or restart the radeon display driver by a software like "CRU". Every driver/bios/software were up to date. Switching back to the older build 1909 solves this issue so this is a windows update issue.

Any recommendation is welcome!

Sorry for my english and thanks in advance.

:)
