Here are the requirements to use the Windows HDR Calibration app:ĭisplay: An HDR-capable display (built-in or external display) For more info, see Calibrate your built-in display for HDR content in Windows. Windows 11 also offers a lot of improvements for games, which might make an upgrade a good choice.Note: If you have a built-in display that can play streaming HDR video, but doesn’t support HDR games and apps, use Display calibration for HDR video found in Settings > System > Display > HDR. To check if your display supports HDR games and apps, under Display capabilities on the HDR settings screen, see if the selected display says Use HDR is Supported or Not supported. If you're still waiting for Windows to automatically update, here's some ways you can install Windows 11 manually. This doesn't apply to Auto HDR exclusively, so it's only really useful for games that support HDR natively already. If you hit Windows + Alt + B, you will toggle HDR at a system level, letting you see its effect in-game pretty easily. You can also use a shortcut to toggle HDR entirely from anywhere in Windows. The Xbox Game Bar also allows you to activate Auto HDR This gives you an easy way to turn the options on and off within a game, which might help you decide whether you like the effect or not. On this tab you can enable both standard HDR and Auto HDR exclusively of one another. From there, click on the settings cog on the far right of the bar, and scroll down to Gaming Features. Using the shortcut (Windows + G), you can bring up the Game Bar. If you're looking for another way to activate Auto HDR from within a game, you can make use of the Xbox Game Bar to access the same settings. Auto HDR can be enabled in Windows 11 Display settings This isn't a blanket setting that applies to all 3D applications, and it will require compatibility, just like on Xbox. It's also here where you can activate Auto HDR, which will apply HDR to any SDR games that are eligible. This is the hub for all your HDR settings, letting you toggle it on and off, calibrate brightness, and more. From there, head to Display settings, and look for HDR settings near the top. You can right-click anywhere on your desktop and click on Display settings, or just head there from Control Panel directly.
