 HotCakeX   Things are a little cut off but this should be adequate.

There should be a hdr option but in this case there isn't.

      HotCakeX No. I am using Window's "Stream HDR" functionality ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4040547 ) on my laptop['s built in screen], which (as far as I am aware ) is only available on apps that come with windows 10 or are available in the microsoft store ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4038608 ) ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4040255/windows-10-stream-hdr-video ). It is not a typical hdr supported display but one that satisfies the requirements listed [for windows 10 version 1803 and later] here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4040547

      This functionality had worked in the previous stock version of edge, but when I went to the newer (chromium-based) version of edge , it had replaced my older version of edge and does not have the functionality of the older version.

      Any ideas?

        So it could probably be only utilized by UWP apps.
