Microsoft has confirmed that some users of applications such as image editors may encounter color rendering issues after upgrading to Windows 11. In addition, there are reports of other bugs in the latest version of Windows 11. Microsoft is investigating these reports.
According to the official announcement, a bug in Windows 11 may prevent some image editing programs from rendering colors correctly on some displays (mainly HDR). When a user tries to edit a picture with a white or light background, it may appear as bright yellow or other colors.
Microsoft stated that the error occurred when the Win32 API returned unexpected information or errors under certain conditions. This is a problem with Windows 11 itself. Updating third-party applications will not work in most cases.
In addition, this error will not affect all color management programs, the settings and color profile options in the control panel will work as expected in the stable version of the operating system. The future version of Windows 11, which is expected to be launched in late January, will solve the problem of HDR or image editing applications.
