Windows HD Color supports HDR.
Windows HD Color supports HDR.
This indicates you should change the slider to "use HDR" and then select it.
I performed that action. The question is about if this supports HDR across the entire system or just the Windows interface.
HD Color in Windows simply means HDR support is available at the system level. It turns on HDR for the user interface, but the game must also support it directly. Many HDR-enabled titles don’t need the Windows toggle activated—they handle it through their own settings. On the other hand, some games require the toggle to be turned on for proper display. Horizon Zero Dawn, for instance, hides its HDR option unless HD Color is enabled in Windows. This situation can be confusing. Configuring HD Color in Windows can also cause problems, sometimes leading to UI glitches. Additionally, the visual experience with HDR varies among users, so results may differ. Generally, it’s best to disable it until you need it for a specific game. Remember, expectations matter—monitor specs and personal preference play a big role in how HDR appears.
