Videos are playing in black and white.

[kylwsmn]

When I watch a video on youtube, or a video in my files or any site, there is a likely chance it will play in a very low color saturation almost completely black and white.

Heres a picture of the color I can see on videos http://i.imgur.com/xbMeevn.jpg

I'm not sure what to do. Please help!

Try disabling Hardware Acceleration in your browser to see if that
helps.

This solves the browser issue but not the videos in my files. Theyre still black and white.
Plus it effects other browsers too. It seems to by default have hardware acceleration enabled to do that on my computer.
Only now my main browser doesn't.

From what I read, there's no easy way to disable hardware acceleration in Win10 itself. The option is no longer presented (in an easy to get to way).

You do have a driver installed for your graphics card, correct? And not just the generic Microsoft display driver. If not, download and install the driver for your graphics card.

Another idea... go in to Control Panel and open Troubleshooting. Click on View All on the left. Click on Hardware and Devices. Follow the steps, Apply any fixes if needed, and see if that helps.

I have the AMD driver.

Also I did the trouble shooting as well already.

Power off your PC and check the monitor cable connections on both ends.

Other than that, I've read that you can reset the AMD driver settings back to default and that helped one person.

There's also the AMD settings in the control panel that you might be able to adjust (particularly Color Temperature).

Another idea: You can do a complete uninstall of the driver in safe mode, run a AMD driver cleaner utility to remove all parts of the driver, and then re-install it while in safe mode.

If that doesn't help, maybe you can tell us the exact video card that you have.. its an AMD... what? Give more info about the card and maybe someone else can help.
