Intel® Graphics command center report

Instructions link:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005848/graphics.html

Note: You can use the option under the reply window to attach the report and any other files to the thread (Drag and drop here or browse files to attach).

1. Did you make sure the monitor that you are using has the latest firmware provided by the manufacturer?
2. Were you ever able to use the option of color saturation in the Intel Graphics Command Center? If yes, were there any changes related to hardware/ software before the issue started?

Recommendations:

• Your graphics driver is outdated, in case you want to update it to the latest one available you can use the following instructions, and to obtain the driver you can download it from this link.
• Your BIOS can also use an update, you are currently on version F15b released on 2019/11/28 and the current one is F15c released on 2021/03/23 in case you want to update it please use the instructions and guidance provided by the manufacturer of the board.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My intel graphics driver is updated to the last version, as for the bios, i prefer not to risk updating it.

Hello Juan3,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

After checking this behavior further, we would like to inform you that this behavior is expected since the graphics driver will read the xvYCC or YCbCr capabilities reported by the display when connected via HDMI, and depending on the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) configuration it will turn it on by default. When xvYCC or YCbCr is detected then Saturation is not used as these options are mutually exclusive.

The saturation option will not show up by switching off the YCbCr button.

When using HDMI® the only way to get this option would be to either get the OEM to modify the driver they offer so it auto-disable YCbCr on supported displays instead of auto-enable (our generic drivers are configured to auto-enable) or modifying the Windows® Registry to change the right key to modify the behavior.

Intel® Customer Support does not offer assistance on modifying Windows® Registry, this is per company policy so what we can recommend is that you could check this further with Microsoft® or your OEM (in this case, Gigabyte™).

Victor G.
