The problem occurs with some photo editing apps, but there is an in-depth solution window 11 suffers from a bug that causes incorrect color rendering, and the most common error is that white appears yellow, at least on some HDR monitors when certain image editing programs are running.
As Tom’s Hardware found out, Microsoft is actively researching this, and the software giant noted this in its support document, which lists current known issues with Windows 11.
Microsoft says, “After installing Windows 11, some image editing programs may not correctly reproduce colors on some HDR displays. This is often seen with white colors, which can appear bright yellow or other colors.
“This problem occurs when some Win32 color rendering APIs return unexpected information or errors under certain conditions.” Not all color profile management programs are affected, and the color profile options available on the Windows 11 settings page, including the Microsoft color commands, should work fine. ”
Analysis: Not so mellow yellow, but at least that fix is coming swiftly
The estimated arrival date at the end of January could mean that this month’s preview (test) patch is included in the cumulative update, which will be released in full during the Tuesday, February patch. So if this error is one of those which haunts you sometimes, and we imagine that it would be quite scary to see white as a “light” yellow (not even a pale yellow), then at least you will not have to suffer for long. longer (as long as healing occurs as expected and works naturally).
While annoying, this particular bug is limited to at least a fairly limited subset of Windows 11 users, as it only affects certain photo editing programs and only certain HDR monitors.
So this is a pretty specific problem, but the prevalent bugs in Windows 11 are a constant theme for Microsoft, and as we recently discovered, it is disappointing to see a lot of bugs popping up. Especially the ones that affect the essential parts of the user interface like the file explorer, as they add to the general impression that the new operating system was released before it was completely finished.
Before its release, we thought Windows 11 was a great opportunity to change the perception that Windows 10 was full of bugs, but it hasn’t worked so far.
