How can I fix HDR Netflix issues in Microsoft Edge?

  • First of all, in the address bar, type in edge://flags/ and press Enter.
  • Scroll to find the Force Color Profile option.
  • Then, click the drop-down and select sRGB.
  • Finally, click on Restart at the bottom to keep the changes.

A quick tip that’s confirmed to work is described above. You can use the Force Color Profile option too, at least until an official fix is released.

It’s easy to check by pressing SHIF+ALT+CTRL+D to see video info. It should be displaying hevc, hdr, prk but right now no hdr codec is displaying (and video colors look washed up when you turn hdr in Windows and watch non-hdr videos).

At the same time, HDR in YouTube works flawlessly, leading to the possibility of taking into consideration DRM protection issues.

Netflix clearly has DRM protection. Things are no different for HBO Max which also does not play videos on Microsoft Edge. Turning hardware acceleration on and off leads to the same result.
