Windows 10 did not have the feature support HDR. The next upcoming Creator update will... So stop alt-tabbing and such.

Win 7/8 and older, no such luck for the OS in the future.

No.
The Windows 10 HDR mode is only for content that cannot create a Fullscreen and force HDR.
Games in DirectX Fullscreen mode negotiate directly with the Monitor to activate HDR. So it was already working before.

And i do have the same issue with washed oud colors, everything just seems darker...
Win10 v1709 R9-290 and Samsung CH49HG90 Monitor.

If anyone does get HDR working, please reply to this thread.
Running modern sys. Old 1080pix screen though which still looks great today.

I believe I have solved this. The HDR setting for Hitman 2 is the same as HDR10 which is a Windows 10 HDR setting only available on certain screen models. The HDR technology seems to have:3840x1600 or higher resolution required for the screen. Have a look at this model for example from LG coming in the year 2019: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-38WK95C-Ultrawide-Adjustable-DisplayPort/dp/B07CK55Z7F/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=LG+38WK95C-W&qid=1558548432&s=gateway&sr=8-2

I believe this will allow HDR to work in the game.

just letting you all know that the problem still exits. i have predator XB3 @ 4K resolution, RTX 2070. still the game will not allow HDR to be enabled. gears 5 detected HDR very easily and it was really good in that mode. both hitman 1 and 2 dose not allowed me to play in HDR so far. still the games look great thanks to the monitor i believe.

Hi Yusufali23,
So with the Aorus brand monitor model AD27QD will Hitman 2 run without issues in HDR on Win 10?

I bought a new HDR (DisplayHDR 400) monitor today, and Hitman 2 looks amazing with.

I enabled HDR in Windows 10 settings (HDR and WCG ON) and in game settings as well + Exclusive fullscreen in DX12 mode with HDMI 2.0. It works well at least for me. Latest Nvidia driver, Windows 10 2004.

HDR works fine for me, X27 connected via DP. 4K and high refresh, all working as expected.

HDR for Windows is a setting designed for high resolution and it works fine (on certain models of Screens).
