Windows 10 gradients not displaying properly

I have a Surface Book, hooked up to a Surface Dock, going to a Dell Ultra HD 4K Monitor P2415Q.

 

I've noticed recently, though I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, that gradients on the external display don't transition properly. On the Surface Book display they are good. Like I'm missing colors or something? I've attached a photo.

 

I've tried downloading the color profile for this monitor with no change.

 

The only other thing I can think of is it's Windows 10 Insider (fast, currently on the latest?) but again.. this may have started before that. I also tried upgrading my Surface Pro 3 to that build, plugged it into the dock and it displays fine. So I have eliminated that its an issue with the monitor or Surface Dock, and possibly the 1809 beta.

 

Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

- Check colour depth setting in Windows.
- Try changing the format of the file to 16 bit if it already isn't.

- Try adding 2-4% noise filter, then do a single blur filter, this can on occasion fix bad gradients.

 

Other than that, it could just be that this is the best the display can manage...

    • Report: Major Siri AI upgrade may arrive with iOS 26.4, delayed to spring 2026

      By Sagar Naresh · Posted

      Report: Major Siri AI upgrade may arrive with iOS 26.4, delayed to spring 2026 by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar Apple Intelligence, the company's suite of artificial intelligence features, has been nothing short of a headache and an embarrassment. While most Apple Intelligence features were released on time, they still lag far behind the likes of Samsung's Galaxy AI. Also, the big Siri AI upgrade, that was announced during the WWDC 2024 event, is still nowhere to be seen. The company has been trying to cover up the delay by releasing a bunch of small features. During this year's WWDC event, although Siri wasn't mentioned explicitly, Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi confirmed that Apple is still working on the Siri upgrade, and it is delayed till 2026. Now, a reliable source has purportedly hinted at when we can expect Apple to release the Siri AI upgrades. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, sources familiar with the matter suggest that Apple is now aiming for iOS 26.4 to launch the big Siri upgrade. Notably, the delays have reportedly been caused by technical challenges and internal disagreements. The upcoming Siri upgrade will make Apple's assistant much smarter and more helpful by using Apple's in-house AI. Siri will be able to understand what's happening on your iPhone's screen and use your data to provide useful responses. The new powers would also enable Siri to perform multi-step tasks and offer more contextual outputs. Originally, the Siri upgrade was expected to launch with the iPhone 16 series. However, it was pushed to spring 2025, and then to May with iOS 18.5. Obviously, none of the that happened, and based on the new information, iOS 26.4 is what rumors are hinting to. This means that the Siri upgrade could launch, possibly in March 2026. Sources claim that Apple had issues combining Siri's older system with the new AI-based system, leading to consistent bugs and glitches. The delay in Siri upgrade also forced Apple to postpone the home hub that was slated to launch in March this year. Vision Pro headset creator Mike Rockwell with Apple's software engineering chief Craig Federighi are leading the charge for Siri LLM, the internal name for the big Siri upgrade. The report also adds that Apple is also working on a chatbot-like app, dubbed as "Knowledge." This project is being led by Robby Walker. But details about it remain scarce.

      Maybe the APUs counted in your favor? I have a decade-old CPU, no APU, no GPU, 4GB of RAM, and free space on C: that ranges between ~1–5GB (though I do have much more on another drive, thankfully). (Cries out for Linux, doesn't it!) So all in all, I'd say the installer made the right choice; if it had done otherwise, then I'd have been upset.
