Color Bit Depth is Stuck at 8 bit - Display adapter mode says 32 bit

Build 17.rs_prerelease677.180520-0940 is my current release. There was an update that failed and changes were rolled back.

In Settings:

Now in the Windows Display settings says "Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (recommended)"

Click on "Advanced Settings" Both monitors say "Bit depth: 8-bit" 

Click "Display adapter properties (either monitor)"

AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series Properties opens.

Click "List all modes"

"1920 by 1080, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz" is selected!

The Display, Desktop, Photos, Movies are in 8-bit 256 Color mode and look really bad!

How to fix this?

Windows has problems responding at times.

I rolled the Display driver back to a previous release... Had to reset the computer because it froze.

On reboot it is on the rolled-back driver level, but still wrong.
