Monitor color correction

[Peelee]

So the other day I did something to make my work monitor get all crazy on the colors. Now everything looks either kind of washed out or like some sort of neon pastel; colors are either very subtle or super bold. I hate it, and all the googling I've done has not been able to fix it. This is basically a letter in a bottle hoping someone can help.

Spoiler: For example

ETA: Nevermind. Fixed. Unpluggng/replugging HDMI cable is different than a system reboot, I've now learned.

For future reference: a photo would have been a better example. A screenshot does not show the effect of your monitor.

Also for future reference: Most monitors will have a factory reset which allows you to undo whatever ill-advised fiddling you've done in the menus.

Oh, my post was plenty full of stupid, I'm willing to admit.

Fault seemed to be in the cable connection, though. I went through every menu on the monitor and at least a dozen Windows 10 supposed fixes (and am now convinced that there are multiple versions of Windows 10 that have very slightly different menus and/or options).

There are.

Microsoft change things every six months or so to keep us all on our toes.

I'm impressed at how polite you were able to put that.
