HDR - PC - HDR doesn't work unless windows volume overlay is displayed

Having a weird issue.  HDR doesn't work unless the Windows volume overlay is displayed on the screen.  HDR is enabled in game as well as Windows. BF5 is the only game I have this issue with.   Any id...

Yeah I've had an HDR monitor for a few months now and I've noticed the same exact thing as the OP. I have a quite a few games that support HDR and they all some seems to, kind of work. Some are duller than others but when you mess with the Volume in Windows while in those games, the colors REALLY pop, and once that volume indicator goes away, it goes back to being dull.
I assume that this is just a Windows issue the needs to get fixed and I hope soon!! HDR seems to work fine every time in games like Forza titles but those are using UWP so I guess Microsoft made sure HDR was working there but for the "legacy" Windows fullscreen programs (games from like Steam), the HDR is a little iffy.

      Hi! I just got the PG35VQ and I have the exact same issue in both BF5 and AC:Odyssey. HDR doesn't work until the windows volume overlay is displayed., I've already spent 3 days searching for a solution and I couldn't find anything ☹️ I've tried all the workarounds suggested here but nothing worked. did you guys ever figure it out?

        @ElyshiaRivera Only fix that ever worked for me is to just go into Windows 10 Settings and turn HDR off.
