With Windows 10, you can play HDR (High Dynamic Range) content on an HDR10 compatible built-in display or on an external monitor (or TV) connected to your computer.
HDR is a technology designed to improve the contrast and color of the content displayed on the screen. Unlike standard dynamic range (SDR), advanced dynamic range provides brighter, more vivid and varied color details for better image quality in supported videos, games and applications.
While HDR technology only works on powerful smart TVs, it’s not so easy on desktops and laptops running Windows 10. You have to make sure your device meets the minimum requirements. You need to manually enable HDR on the screen and in the operating system, and various problems can arise.

Disable in-game overlay in NVIDIA GeForce Experience
An overlay is an application that has part of the user interface on top of other applications. Many voice and graphics applications have overlays to enhance gameplay. Sometimes they do the opposite, using bandwidth or causing compatibility issues with certain programs. In this case, you should disable it. Programs with overlays often turn them on automatically every time they are updated. If you’re having performance issues with every update, you should always turn them off.
