Anyone else having problems with full screen settings in games? A load of my games now have to be set to windowed borderless now, they refuse to open in full screen since 381.65
Go to nVidia Control Panel, go to Change Resolution menu, under option number three (3), choose "Use NVIDIA colour settings". Go to Windows Settings, go to "System" options, under the "Display" menu, turn OFF (Disable) HDR and advanced colour. Restart the computer (not necessary, but just to be safe). I had this issue with the Creators Update even with the previous driver. After doing the settings above, it fixed the problem. Hope that helps.

Now, I know the reason why I have'n been able to load i1Profiler Pro. Windows Keeps saying 'something prevents it to load'.

These drivers do not fix the boot to black screen for me. In fact, they may be worse then the previous 381.65 drivers. I now have to unplug and replug the HDMI cable to get the image. Also, this driver and the previous 381.65 defaulted to Output Color Format: YCbCr??? Output Color Depth: 12 bit I have to click the, Use Nvidia Color Settings, and set RGB, 8 bit. My monitor is a Samsung UN48JS9000. Didn't have any issues at all, till these drivers and the new "Windows 10 Creators Update".
I have the same problem with a Samsung UN60JS7090, the TV is the problem. It reports it can do YCbCr422 12-bit color. I have a PS4 Pro and it also autodetects YCbCr422 12-bit when enabling HDR in games. At least we can set it to use Nvidia settings, lol. Edit: typed yuv instead of YCbCr

Thanks, but I don't have either of those options in NVCP or Settings/Display In NVCP I only have "Highest 32bit" available

The annoying part for me is, this wasn't an issue before, so I don't know why its doing it now. Also, its on driver install. I've not played any games in months.

Yea i hear you. Nvidia always does this... it took them years to add RGB Full/Limited because they blamed the monitor/tv makers not sending correct info on the HDMI handshake. This might also be partially Microsoft's fault because they added the HDR option in Windows 10. Either way i bet it will be a few driver versions before it gets fixed 🙁

Since W10 Creator, whatever 381.65 or 381.78, my custom icc profiles are always back to default windows icc profile when I exit from a game or 3DMArk for example. I am obliged to reload my custom icc profile after each time I exit from a 3D application (Game or benchmark). Does someone has this ?

ICC still not work for me - when i start a full screen game like dota2 from steam its reset the color profile.

Yes, icc profiles are back to default after exiting a game.

Yup....Same thing. And the sad part is, it won't let you change any settings using the 'Default Color' option. I get this washed out dull grayish look.

TitanFall 2 crashes when I launch the game when "Fastsynch" is enabled in TitanFall 2 profile in NVIDIA control panel (Vertical Synch parameter) Happens for both 381.65 and 381.78 since W10 Creator... If i set the vertical synch parameter of TitanFall 2 to "Use 3D application", then the games can be launched....

This "default settings" seems to be what Microsoft thinks it should look like by default.

Not work with this method... The problem is when i start a full screen game the icc profile simply gone. I use destop icc profil in the dota. (I use with the dota with launch option -nogammaramp which force the dota or other source engine game to use destop color profil) Problem is the game without icc is pinky minky colored **** 🙂 When i alt-tab from the game the icc profil isnt work but if i switch windows on/off night shift slider it reload the profil. Unfortunatelly if i alt-tab back to the game, its gone again.

Some reason with these drivers I have issues running two monitors, First issue is when I leave my pc idle the screen normally turns off, but now it still on but with just a black screen, other issue is whenever I run a full screen game, it turns off my second monitor(black screen monitor isn't completely turned off). only way to get the picture to show is to either unplug the displayport or turn the monitor on and off. It happens with every driver after 378.92. on the Creators update.

Losing ICC profile is really annoying so in the meantime, I'm setting all my games to Borderless Window.

No....it's obviously broken and the settings (none) are broken. Here's the good part, if I disable UHD color on my display THEN it flips into some wierd 4:2:2 HDR blasting (my set supports HDR) over driven...any how, I'm not an expert on this. But it's borked, and it's probably a combination of things.

Do you loose your whole ICC profile settings or just the video LUT (loaded into the VGA card from the ICC profile upon boot)? If it's just the LUT, try a LUT manager like that of DisplayCAL (DispcalGUI), that might be able to detect the loss of the custom LUT and reapply as necessary (if instructed to do so). BTW, I stopped using video LUTs years ago but I remember a lot of games used to clear this LUT while switching to fullscreen exclusive mode. I even remember having some kind of DLL injection patch to bypass this behavior. And then a few games might even loaded a custom (non-linear) LUT to alter the tone response curve, so keeping both (and thus achieving the goal of displaying the picture as intended - at least in terms of white balance and tone response) was simply impossible.

381.78 Black Screen My system just rebooted when browsing the internet and when Windows was running again, I got a black screen on my monitor (still had an image on my UHDTV) in extended mode. I managed to get the picture back by switching to Duplicate (Clone) display. And then (using the Windows Key and "P") I switched to my UHDTV only and got a black screen on that. 381.65 gave me a higher idle temperature of 60c (temperatures are fixed with 381.78 (37c)). Both 381.78 and 381.65 seem to not to be able to maintain deep colour on my UHDTV and it reverts from 12bit to 8bit at 1080p in NCP. Back to 378.92 as these worked fine and I'm not even sure what benefits WDDM 2.2 brings me anyway. I like others will wait for a newer WHQL and hope Nvidia and Microsoft have fixed these problems.
