| Microsoft is bringing Auto HDR to Windows |
Microsoft plans to add Auto HDR support to more than 1,000 PC games.
Microsoft is currently testing the new Auto HDR feature on Windows 10, which matches the latest Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles.
As long as you have a compatible HDR screen, enable Auto HDR to add HDR to a variety of DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games.
Hanna Fisher, Director of Microsoft DirectX, said: While some game studios are promoting HDR computers by creating games like HDR games, Auto HDR for PC only uses DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 SDR games, and the lineup color and brightness intelligently extend to HDR.
She added: This is a seamless platform feature that provides you with an amazing new gaming experience and takes full advantage of the capabilities of an HDR screen.
Auto HDR can be enabled in the latest Windows 10 beta, and version number 21337 is made available to Windows Insiders users today.
It should be activated automatically, or you can activate it from the settings view. The feature is currently under review, and not all DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 games support this feature.
Microsoft is constantly improving performance and fixing some issues. The company admits that Auto HDR takes some GPU processing power to achieve its goals.
In addition to the Auto HDR feature, the latest Windows 10 beta also includes improvements to virtual desktops, updates to the File Explorer layout, and even some changes to the built-in apps (for example, block notes).
Windows 10 will soon provide custom wallpapers for every virtual desktop and will be able to easily rearrange your desktop.
Microsoft also added additional space between objects in File Explorer and now has a zip mode in classic file manager mode. The new screen is further improved for touch.
Notepad now also has a new icon and is being updated through the Microsoft Store.
The software giant is also updating the apps that ship with Windows 10 to include Windows Terminal and Power Automate Desktop.
