Product: HP Laptop PC 15-dw3000 (1A3Y0AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Hello,
After the latest windows update,
(2023-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5030219)) and (2023-09 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5031217))
By computer dropped to a 6 bit bit depth. I don't know what it was previously, but It 100% was not 6 bit. I am an artist and this is messing with my artwork as i can see each individual color, and not a smooth transition in gradients or shading.
I have fully updated my graphics, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it too.
I spent over an hour trying to figure this out with my college's tech support and they gave up.
