Washed out colors after update on Asus TUF laptop - Intel Iris Xe issue

[XPUser2600]

Hello. Have owned my Asus TUF laptop for 2 months now and this issue appeared recently after this month's Patch Tuesday update on Windows 10. Basically once i booted into the system after the update, 3 seconds the colors were vibrant and just fine, but after 3 seconds the colors washed out for no reason. I found a temporary solution, by resetting the color profile in Intel Graphics Command Center. After restarting it does the same again, 3 seconds with good colors, then they look washed out. I even tried creating a custom color profile but it keeps reverting to washed out colors. Can someone direct me at a permanent solution, or can Intel fix the graphics command center app?

I have the exact same problem and every time I have to reset the color settings in the Intel control panel. Asus ROG Strix G16 (2023)

Hi XPUser2600,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

Could you please supply the SSU logs for us to check your system details? Also, could you inform us whether you have attempted to use the most recent drivers from either Intel or Asus?

Hello XPUser2600,

Thank you for your reply.

After reviewing the SSU logs, it appears that the driver version was not up to date. Could you please provide the specific driver version that was in use at the time the issue first arose? Additionally, is this the same version you're currently using, which is 31.0.101.4502?

We have released an updated driver, version 31.0.101.5592, which is now available for download on our website. Would it be possible for you to test this newer version?

Should the issue persist, I would recommend trying the most recent driver available on your website. In that case, could you also provide us with the precise model of your laptop?

Best regards,

Hello!

Just wanted to say that I have the same problem as the OP.

I noticed it happens in several scenarios:

• When I change the refresh rate of the screen
• When the laptop has been shut down and then booted up

If I go to 'Device Manager' -> 'Display Adapters' -> 'Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics' -> Right click -> 'Update driver' -> 'Search automatically', it says that it didn't find any drivers and that the one installed it's the most recent one. I must mention that I'm using a Asus TUF F15 (2023 with a dedicated GPU)

You may wanna update your driver via Intel's website than via devmgmt, it doesn't locate it on Windows Update.

UPDATE: Just turned on my laptop and it didn't do it. Graphics driver still the same version. Probably something related to the Graphics Command Center, it might've installed an update. Version 1.100.5536.0. Try updating yours here

It's already updated to that version.

Did you update the drivers from here and it solved the issue? Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*

Hello, the issue has been resolved by itself, so i'd recommend people to update the drivers, and then update the Asus System Control Interface (this was most likely done automatically in my case)
