Hi!

So today I ran into a software problems (can't open AMD Adrenaline software) and reinstalled my AMD graphic drivers (Was functioning normally but had a few crashes lately, nothing weird tho). Running a Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Anyways, I just reinstalled everything and still can't open AMD software, and when connecting my main screen with a Displayport instead of HDMI it looks weird.
I tried starting some games and everything seems to function but screen also looks darker.

I will post a picture as an example

Games work fine and nothing weird there, it's just that in Windows it looks like kinda <Mod Edit> as you see, like I had standard Intel Graphics.

With HDMI it looks normal, but my card

Also can't figure why I can't open up AMD Radeon software.

What could it be?
Could it be my cable?
Should I try reinstalling my graphics drivers completely again?

Any ideas?

Seems fixed now, I uninstalled both Intel and amd drivers in safe mode disconnected from internet, then installed the newest amd driver, inactivated Windows HDR, and voila, problem was fixed!

Tried to reinstall amd/intel drivers a bunch of times without luck, and it's so annoying not being able to open to AMD Software, can finally do that now after removing everything in safe mode then updating to the newest AMD version before connecting to the internet again. Intel drivers seem to somehow interrupt with AMD software sometimes apparently.

Then the windows HDR thing, is it that bad with displayport? It looked terrible honestly, like something was wrong with the colors on the screen/graphics card.
First, parse the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

Include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard? If you're on Windows 10, what version(not edition) of the OS are you on? Did you use DDU to uninstall your GPU drivers? If so, you're advised to reinstall your driver with the latest sourced from AMD's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
