Post-Processing Effects Not Working (Distance Blur not showing up)

Hello,

Its nice to meet everyone. Its my first time posting. I've looked everywhere for a solution and I have found absolutely none. For awhile, my game has been played with Post-Processing Effects on. The quality would be lovely and the distance blur would show fantastically regardless of whatever world I played it. Now, the graphics look terrible now (very grainy, and super sharp). I have posted before and after photos below. I have tried almost everything from reinstalling drivers, reinstalling settings, everything. Is anyone else having this problem also? If not, any solutions?

My Laptop Specs:

Acer Nitro 5 17.3"

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz

RAM: 8.00 GB 

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1650

Graphics Driver Version: 497.29

Thank you all so much! If any other info is needed please let me know. I just want my game to play smoothly again ☹️

    @_complexiity94  Have you tried installing a slightly older graphics driver, for example one from November?  You can find older Nvidia drivers here:

    Does the problem show up when you use ultra graphics settings across the board?  Does it change at all if you switch to high settings?  You should be able to play on ultra; I'm just wondering whether there's any noticeable difference between the two, even if the problem is present in both.

    Omg. Thank you so much for responding! I have tried but for some reason with the Windows 11 update it wont let me install successfully. Im honestly thinking of downgrading back down to Windows 10. This problem happens at all settings tbh. Even with everything selected for the Ultra option it still looks horrible ;(
