Windows 10: How to change the colour depth to 8bit on Windows 11?

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 520, Installed Windows 11 last week. I did not noticed before but now while verifying if everything installed after the upgrade I noticed the display colour depth is set to 6-bit in the Advanced Display Setting Window. Under the List All Modes it shows the display is capable of 8-bit True Colour 32-bit. I have installed the Latest Graphic Driver from Intel Website, it's still the same. Cannot change the colour depth thru Intel Graphics Command Center.But when uninstalled all the intel graphics driver, Windows Basic Display Adapter installed automatically. Then it show

:)

 

Why are windows10 display colours defaulted to 8bit RGB??

Way back when moses was a boy, the display world talked in terms of bits per pixel to indicate an ability to display colour. 8 bits was crappy, more bits (a greater colour depth expressed in bits/pixel was better). And for a while that was how things progressed.

But the geeks are now confusing us with tech speak. It's pretty clear that an expression of colour capacity as 8bits RGB is confusing. Consolidating the responses here, it would have been much clearer to simply say that windows can manage a colour depth of 24bits per pixel for displays.

Thanks guys.

Most monitors are 8 bit, there are a few 10 bit panels, but they cost some serious $$.
The 32 bit you see on the right is a whole different thing.

Try Googling: 8 bit panel vs. 10 bit panel
Then Google: 16 bit color depth vs. 32 bit color depth.

Way back when I was a boy... I remember being ecstatic when we went from 2 colors on the screen, to 8 colors.
We all thought we died and went to heaven.
Now monitors with 16.7 million and 1.07 billion colors are commonplace.
