Windows 10 HDR settings apply to all screens, not just capable ones
Hi all.
Not sure if this is the right section for the question - considered graphics, but it's not exactly that. Anyway, here goes...
I've purchased a new monitor (Dell S3220DGF) with HDR capability. I currently have 3 screens plugged: The new Dell monitor, my old MSI monitor (which does not have HDR) and a TCL TV that can do HDR, but it's bad enough that I do not want it on.
My problem is that whenever I switch HDR on the Dell monitor in Windows settings and go full screen on a YouTube video, all screens switch to HDR mode. Including the two that have the settings turned off. The TV turns it's HDR on automatically and the MSI monitor goes black screen completely and needs to be switched off/on.
So far it only happens on YouTube - don't have much to test on and don't really know where to even begin troubleshooting something random like this.
Any ideas on what might be the cause, or what part of the system is even at fault. Is it YouTube settings? Is it Windows? Is it drivers? I'm very very lost and I would appreciate any input from the community.
