win10 1903 problems

[revelator]

Hey peeps.

Well i got updated to 1903 and immediatly ran into a problem with opengl games like Doom3.
Setting gamma in game or modifying color profiles in windows no longer worked, and things looked a bit strange compared to the previous version.

Took me a while to hunt down what caused this and it turns out 1903 makes some assumptions that are plainly wrong with some monitors.
Go into device manager find your screen and change it to pnp screen (standard) and things will work again.

Hope this helps anyone else with this problem.

Well atleast its an easy fix allthough it was hell figuring out what went wrong.

Oh it is not gamma failing to reset, it is completely broken due to win 10 not correctly detecting the monitor.
It installs a driver for the monitor that breaks all gamma ramp and color space manipulations because the driver reports that the monitor is not capable of those (EDID fail).
I noticed while looking at my laptop with win 8.1 that the mobitor driver was named differently, so i changed the win10 version to the same generic driver and gamma worked again. But if i let win10 autodetect the monitor it reinstalls the broken driver so ouch

iirc when i set pnp monitor, it forces a 60hz refresh rate. if i specifically choose the monitor/display port then i can use the full 144hz

i’ll have to double check. then again im not using 1903but an earier version 18xx

earlier versions are to my knowledge not affected

If your monitor comes with a specific driver it should not be affected either,
my problem stems from using a HD TV as monitor, sadly there are no specific drivers for it so windows just installs a generic one. But it installs the wrong one on the 1903 version leading to the affore mentioned problems.
