• White overlay on certain programs (Media Player, Wallpaper Engine, Discord)
    2 replies, posted
Hey, I'm having a problem with some of the programs I've mentioned in the title with a translucent white overlay where it looks like what you're seeing is way brighter than usual, as if it's almost white. I've tried to look up this problem but I can't find it and I don't know if I've worded this properly. This happens in Films & TV (Windows 10's equivalent of watching videos in Windows Media Player), Discord and on Wallpaper Engine. For Films & TV, I just get a white overlay on all of the videos I watch (it's not any in particular) and I experienced this when I first watched back a recent twitch stream of mine that I recorded roughly two weeks ago. I've also watched back old OBS clips I recorded and this white overlay that has never appeared before now appears on these clips. I have also tried VLC Media Player and the older Windows Media Player installed on Windows and the same overlay appears there. For Discord, this only happens to YouTube videos that are embedded into Discord. For YouTube and Google Chrome itself, there is no translucent white overlay. For Wallpaper Engine however, this only happens when I load up custom wallpapers from the Steam Workshop or possibly anywhere else you can get them from. This is what happens for me, for example watching a YouTube video in Discord vs watching it on YouTube via Google Chrome: [T]https://i.imgsafe.org/3e/3efa42c991.png[/T] [T]https://i.imgsafe.org/3f/3f06725326.png[/T] [U]Specs [/U]OS: Windows 10 Pro (Version 1709 Build 16299.125) and on the Fall Creators Update CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 (3.0GHz, stock clocks) RAM: 1x8GB DDR4 2400MHz GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB (Stock clocks, currently on version 17.11.1) I'm also booting from a 240GB OCZ ARC 100 2.5" SSD but I have a 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 3.5" hard drive as well, don't think this is as important but better to put it here in case. I've also had this installation of Windows 10 since the 9th September this year and never had this problem until last month if I remember correctly. All help would be appreciated, thanks in advance :)
Check your video settings in your graphics card driver, maybe something got messed up there at some point [url]http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/DH-006.aspx[/url] Those only apply to videos and not the whole screen so it's a good place to start [editline]15th December 2017[/editline] If that doesn't help I'd go to Control Panel > Color Management and set everything to default

I do remember changing it but to be fair, I don't really know why - probably because I wanted to make CS:GO's colours more vibrant so it's easier to see things. I have now solved it, in other words. Thank you.
