Hi

I've come across this new problem,and i would like some help with it.When i start some games,the screen is over saturated in different colours(red,green,white).When the game crashes,it is always like the screen below too much white on screen.

How do i fix this problem?.I go to Settings,and when i click on System the over saturation problem has gone!.This has only started since the Windows 10 1903 update.

Any ideas on how to fix my problem?.

Thanks in advance

Colin

    I fixed it by going into Windows Settings and turning off HDR.  Yep, long story short, Microsoft just simply shipped a massively degrading change to PC Gaming (that would be broken HDR), and left it that way for months, with no change.  They are totally unresponsive on this as well.  I am not sure why a company would take a hatchet to one of its major core offerings.

    I have the same issue, only it occurs for me also when I change the sound volume on the Windows 10 PC.  Windows 10, latest drivers, all up to date.  It happens on all games, including "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" running as a Microsoft App Store App, with no other programs running at all.

    I have the exact same problem with the bonus that now games are turning over saturated even without volume changes, right from the start.

    No-one seems to know how to fix this.

    I can't play like that, feels like a GameCube bad port.
