I am having a weird graphics issue when I go to play video games.

Here is a link to some images of this issue: https://postimg.cc/gallery/J7pF0qs

Photo 1 is how normal the menu of a video game looks when I am using the alt + tab view. Photo 2 is how crazy the menu of a video game looks when I click on the game itself to play it.

What's even weirder, is that when I screenshotted the crazy view using print screen on my computer, it came out looking normal. I had to take a photo of the crazy view with my phone in order to show how psychedelic the colors look.

I am thinking this is a graphics card issue. The crazy view only shows up when I am gaming. I can alt tab through many Windows programs and the color scheme is always normal. Also, I do use f.lux as a blue light filter on my computer but I am not sure how that would mess with my video games.

Hope to find an answer soon.

Can you please state the make and model of your GPU? You might want to also see if there are any errors flagged in Device Manger. Third, see if you see 0MB showing up on GPU-Z. As for your platform., what OS are you using? You've stated Windows, if you're on Windows 10, please mention the version(not edition) of the OS.

Hi.

Here is an image of my GPU info via Speccy:

You can see how the colors are off. I am running a different game than the one in my previous example and everything gets this rust, cobalt blue theme on it when I alt tab from the game to my desktop.

And more details below...

Make and Model of GPU: ATI AMD Radeon R7
According to the Speccy app, the State shows as "Enabled, Primary, Unsafe".
I don't see any errors in the Device Manager.
I am using Windows 10 version 21H2.
OS Build is 19044.1566
Where do I find the GPU-Z information?
