Everytime I play a game with hdr enabled and I exit the game, all of my screens start to flicker and I have to restart the hdr monitor for it to be back to normal.
Monitors:
Laptop screen: Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H
HDR monitor: Dell G2724D
2nd monitor: AOC C24G1

The hdr monitor is connected through usb c to dp cable and the 2nd monitor through hdmi

#

does dell monitor have any tye of auto detection? @minor breach

#

it might be trying to go from hdr game to standard mode for something like a browser

minor breach
#

its got smart hdr if thats what you mean

#

i put it on DisplayHDR 400

#

else i dont see any auto detection

#

i got auto-hdr in the windows settings enabled

#

is that the same

maybe? i also have an hdr monitor but its msi. it also flickers for me but im on windows 10. msi has a thing where it will try to detect what content you are vieweing in hdr and give you the "best" picture mode for what you are doing in my case switching from a game to chrome to pause music and then switcing back to the game would make it go crazy. turning off auto hdr fixed that

#

try the windows setting maybe its switched to there on windows 11

#

the ui you have looks like its win 11 not win 10

minor breach
#

yea im on win 11

#

cuz if i quickly alt tab itll flicker and when im back in the game it stops

#

ok, you could also try enabling hdr and then updating gpu policy in cmd, then restarting

oh shit alr

#

is it that command? gpupdate /force

boreal yarrow
#

you can also try doing windows + shift + alt + b when it does that, it refreshes the gpu and all screens conected to it

minor breach
#

oh alr

alr

#

you need to restart after you do this.

#

i dont think this can break anything but if your unsure create a restore point before running the command

minor breach
#

alr i restarted. im gonna try it out

#

yk what its better than before

#

thank you for helping

#
