Colors look wrong or washed out on your screen
Your monitor has color settings that have been accidentally changed, or your graphics driver lost the correct color profile. We'll reset these back to defaults and restore your colors.
Your monitor and graphics driver work together to display colors correctly. When the color settings shift or the profile gets lost, colors can look washed out, shifted, or completely wrong. We'll check your monitor's color settings, reset them to default, and make sure Windows is using the right color profile for accurate colors.
- ✓Have a photo or website with colors you know well so you can compare before and after
- ✓Make sure your monitor has been on for at least 5 minutes so it's warmed up
- ✓Check that your monitor cable is plugged in firmly at both ends

- Adjusting multiple settings at once and not knowing which one fixed the problem — change one thing, test, then move on
- Turning on accessibility color filters thinking it will fix colors — these actually change colors, not fix them
