    Screen Flickering in HDR mode


    As soon as I switch on HDR in windows settings it causes my screen to flicker. It wasn't always like this it happened after I installed an enterprise driver for my display but even after resetting my whole pc the issue still persists. I have tried everything from uninstalling all drivers and installing new ones but nothing seems to work.My laptop is a hybrid, i.e. has onboard graphics and a separate GPU. also I believe my display comes through the AMD Radeon GPU If I remove the driver from device manager and restart my laptop it helps for a second but then starts to flicker again.

    :)
