Hot Take:

Looks like Microsoft’s Auto HDR is making games shine a little too brightly – so much so that it’s blinding our poor PCs into a freeze-fest! Just when you thought Windows 11 was a safe upgrade, it’s now more like playing Minesweeper on hard mode. Is this Microsoft’s way of encouraging us to take a break from gaming? Maybe it’s time to step outside and experience some real-life HDR – also known as daylight.

Key Points:

  • Microsoft’s Auto HDR feature in Windows 11 24H2 is causing game freezes and graphical issues.
  • Users have reported oversaturated and high-contrast game graphics due to Auto HDR.
  • Redmond has issued a compatibility hold on systems with Auto HDR enabled to prevent further issues.
  • Users are advised to disable Auto HDR to avoid game freezes and incorrect color displays.
  • Microsoft warns against manual updates on impacted devices until a fix is available.
