Teams on Windows suddenly dark/faded after applying 1909
Hi all,
I have an unusual situation on my own computer after updating to 1909 (removing did not fix the issue). My Teams client is suddenly displaying as dark/faded gray across the entire app, almost like a context window is in front, but it's not. The app is fully functional but difficult to read. I tried switching the themes but the issue persists.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. Even more strange, taking a native screenshot does not show the discoloration - I have to take it with my phone.
Here's a screenshot of the login screen where you can clearly see the discoloration even during the loading/login phases. I have Skype open to the side so you can see the contrast. This grayscaleish type issue is found in the entire app after logging in.

- Thats probably it. Mine suddenly fixed itself but I didn't correlate the potential change. Good catch!
Phil Lyle I'm running into this too, and turning off HDR is definitely one possible solution, but I'd rather not do that since I do run games and apps that benefit from HDR.
Visual Studio Code is another Microsoft app that used to be dim when HDR is enabled but they fixed that last year. I hope the Teams team can do the same this year!
I think I found a solution. Uncheck Play HDR Games.
lidesanWe need a solution that doesn't require toggling HDR just for this one app.
