To question 1, others have reported it, and I have it as well. Sometimes it just goes black for a few seconds (happens often when I'm gaming, almost never at a desktop). No user fix afaik.
To question 2, run the "HDR calibration tool" in windows. It helps a lot. I actually bought a calibrator to do this using a sensor, but a good one isn't cheap. The Windows tool is free and works fairly well.
Have done a little more digging in the last few days.
The black thing I timed at exactly 4 hours run time, and then 6 mins of it being locked up and unresponsive. So that has to be pixel refresh, but without a warning, and without it coming back online like normal like if you do it manually. Have to turn off, and on, and wait for screens to juggle and everything to move around. Super annoying.
HDR Calibration in Windows 10 is pretty useless. I did some playing around and since I have a dual boot of 11, I tried it in there. Low and behold, it seems like HDR is working in my windows 11, but not in 10. Hard to completely verify since I had no luck getting Forza to install on 11 so I could compare, but in Cyberpunk 2077, it certainly seems different. In 10, regardless of game and setting, everything is washed out and muted. Even the menus in 2077 are dull, and when launching, there is a noticeable colour halo around letters in the intro text. None of that is present in 11........ So despite googling, I've found nothing in the direction of a solution to that one
😞I'd switch to 11 but after 2 hours of faffing about, I still can't get games to install from the MS store on it. Why must computers be so annoying?
