[SOLVED] Can't find "Auto HDR" setting in my Windows 10 ?

[darenpink]

Hi, I have Windows 10 build 19043.1110 and i want to turn off auto HDR but its not showing in my settings. Can someone help please, i have looked everywhere ?

Did you follow through this guide? You could conversely look through this guide. Can you please parse the make and model of your display panel? Mind sharing how you're tethered to the display from your graphics card(assuming that this is a desktop and not a laptop)?

Hi my monitor is Samsung Odyssey G7 27" WQHD VA g-sync and the problem im really having is some games i play picture mode in the monitor is fine but some grey out the picture mode and i was told this is because there is a HDR signal - all i want to do is turn auto HDR off if possible but i just cant find it

Referencing this link provided by Lutfij, I notice it says:

"Note: To use the steps in the following procedure, your PC must be running Windows 10 (Version 2004)"

You said you are running an earlier version (Windows 10 v1904) so that may be why you can't find the setting.

Probably not as the HDR setting you're referring to was most likely only added with the Windows 10 v2004 Feature Update, so on your older version you could be looking for a setting that does not exist. In any case, you should keep Windows10 up-to-date via automatic updates. Can't understand why you're still on v1904 which is 2 years out of date unless you've somehow disabled auto-updates.

Can you tell me how to enable auto updates please ?

when i google latest windows 10 build it says 19043.1151 - 21H1 now im confused ?

 

[Colif]

21H1 would be called 2104 if Microsoft had stuck to same naming scheme

what are you confused about?

To update win 10, go here and click top link - https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10
that downloads the upgrade assistant, run it and it will update pc to 21H1

1. right click start
   
2. choose run...
   
3. type winver and press enter
   
4. current version is 21H1 (as you know)

Yeah, I worked that out when I ram winver

I( wonder when they going to implement it though. That is insiders - https://www.tenforums.com/windows-1...-preview-dev-build-21337-1010-march-19-a.html and many of its features are now in win 11.

all of its features look like win 11.

this doesn't exist yet - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials...-compact-mode-file-explorer-windows-10-a.html

Win 11 is Build 22000 so at least that number fits in between 10 and 11. So it could be added in the next version update in November. I can't tell the future though.

So my windows is up to date ?

Yes, the feature you are after isn't in 10 yet, it may be introduced in the next version of Win 10 once WIn 11 is out.
Always a chance, given article based on a dev build, it won't go into 10 at all. It might be a win 11 only feature. I don't actually know for sure.

19043 is current release build
21337 is a dev build, there is likely a newer one since then
22000 is win 11 current build (Beta)

Don't need to try to turn it off as it doesn't exist.
