Microsoft announced a significant Windows 11 update that revolutionizes HDR technology handling in the operating system. The new KB5058499 update introduces intelligent HDR mode management and extended Dolby Vision settings.
Key Update Features
The main feature of the update is the ability to use HDR selectively. Users can now keep HDR disabled in the system by default while automatically activating it when playing HDR-compatible video content. This function solves a long-standing user problem for those who didn't want permanently enabled HDR but wished to use it for viewing special content.
Flexible HDR Source Management
The update allows precise configuration of which applications and services will activate HDR. Users can select specific video sources such as Netflix, YouTube, or other streaming platforms for which the system will automatically enable HDR mode without affecting the rest of Windows operations.
Enhanced Dolby Vision Control
Significant changes also affected Dolby Vision technology. Previously, when Dolby Vision was activated on a monitor, the function was forcibly enabled throughout the entire operating system. The new update provides users with complete control over this technology, allowing Dolby Vision to be turned on and off independently of display settings.
Availability and Installation
Update KB5058499 is available to all Windows 11 users through Windows Update Center. To receive the update, users need to activate the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" option in system settings. After installation, new features become immediately available.
Practical Benefits
The innovations are particularly relevant for users with HDR monitors who previously encountered color reproduction issues in regular applications with permanently enabled HDR. Now users can enjoy quality HDR video without compromising everyday system work.
