How to Enable or Disable Auto HDR for Games in Windows 10 [Tutorial]

Windows 10 lets you enable the Auto HDR for games feature to improve your gaming experience on your PC. This is the same feature available on Xbox Series X and S consoles, and it has been designed to convert compatible games from standard-dynamic-range (SDR) to high-dynamic-range (HDR) automatically to unlock the brighter and bolder colors available on compatible displays that use this technology for a more immersive and realistic experience.

HDR is a video/imaging technique where the lights and darks in a digitally reproduced scene can be shown with more detail than before. In video games, the increased range of color and luminance of HDR enables a more immersive, realistic experience. You’ll be able to see the details of haunting movement in dark shadows rather than just black. The bright sun will be a more radiant, warm yellow rather than a flat saturated white, but unless the game is displaying on your monitor with that improved dynamic range, you won’t get the benefits of a more immersive experience even if you have an HDR capable monitor.

Here's how to Enable or Disable Auto HDR for Games on Windows 10. As you may already know, Windows 10 supports HDR videos (HDR). HDR video removes the limitations of SDR video signals and comes with an ability to bring greater brightness and color to the picture by including extra information about the contents.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.

I use my TV monitor for my PC and apparently in the TV settings my HDR setting had been turned off on HDMI3 only. I've just changed it and it works again 😅

Good morning my friend. Great video.
I have a GTX1070 with ryzen 1600. I bought a 4K HDR monitor but when I activate the msm and play a video on youtube 4k hdr active, the CPU usage is very high and even crashes in the video but the GPU has about 10% of use.
Can you tell me why you are not using the GPU capacity instead of the CPU? Grateful
