Windows 10 Creators Update washes out random colors in random programs.

Hello,

To determine the cause of the issue, may we know how did you install the Windows 10 Creators Update? Is it via Windows Update Settings, or using Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant, or Media Creation Tool? To help resolve your concern, here are the suggested methods you can try:

METHOD 1: Download the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant or Media Creation Tool to install the update.

There are a lot of factors to consider before installing the Windows 10 Creators Update, such as compatibility and system requirements. See Check this List to Determine if Your Computer is Compatible with the Windows 10 Creators Update or Anniversary Update or Not. For additional help, we recommend that you read this article by Andre da Costa (MS-MVP): Frequently Asked Questions Windows 10 Creators Update version 1703.

METHOD 2: Check if the said application or program is compatible with the Windows 10 Creators Update.

METHOD 3: Check if the drivers are updated.

You  may visit your manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers. If you have the latest drivers installed on your PC, let's try to roll back the driver to the previous version, and see if it makes any difference. Here's how:

1. In the Start Search button, type Device Manager, and then press Enter.
2. Go to Display adapters, and expand the said category.
3. Select the driver, right click on it, and then select Properties.
4. Under the Driver tab, choose Roll Back Driver.

Let us know if the methods provided above worked for you. Get back to us with the response for further assistance.

I apologize for taking this long to reply. Here's my Feedback Hub submission. https://aka.ms/Afnzzv

The other method of changing account didn't help unfortunately. Also this feedback may have been submitted by a different account, but that's because i didn't realize my computer login information was also my Microsoft account so i made a new Microsoft account to post this issue, whoops.

The feedback video shows me CTRL+Print Screening my desktop into Photoshop CC 2016 and the colors failing to display properly, and a comparison of a broken embeded image in the program Discord which is having the same issue, and the proper image which is shown in Windows Photo Viewer. I hope this helps.

I was able to resolve the problem by going to Display settings and switching off 'HDR and Advanced Colour"

Hi,

Have you already address this concern? HDR and advanced color will only show up in Display settings if you have an HDR display connected.

Thanks.
