Причины и характер ошибки
HDR — метод цветопередачи, который позволяет монитору передавать более яркие и насыщенные цвета, улучшая тем самым качество отображения содержимого. Появление ошибки «Сертификация HDR: не найдено» при попытке использования данной технологии в Windows 11 может свидетельствовать о том, что монитор не поддерживает ее или необходимые обновления не были установлены.
В некоторых случаях проблема вызвана неправильными настройками операционной системы, из-за чего технология просто не включается там, где должна работать. Узнать, поддерживается ли вообще HDR на вашем мониторе, можно только в его документации или через информацию на официальном сайте.
Метод исправления ситуации зависит исключительно от того, чем была вызвана ошибка и доступен ли HDR на мониторе в принципе. Иногда помогает изменение некоторых настроек Windows 11, в других случаях устанавливаются специальные обновления для монитора или проверяется его подключение. Все это и будет разобрано в следующих разделах данного материала.
Способ 1: Установка цветового профиля
Если ваш монитор точно должен поддерживать HDR, возможно, для него выбран просто неправильный цветовой профиль и необходимый следует указать вручную. В большинстве случаев это осуществляется путем выбора подходящего профиля из существующих по умолчанию. Реже опытные пользователи самостоятельно находят файлы с профилями для поддержки HDR и выбирают их в качестве основных. Определение корректного профиля осуществляется следующим образом:
- Откройте «Пуск» и перейдите в «Параметры», кликнув по значку с изображением шестеренки в списке закрепленных.
- На панели слева вас интересует раздел «Система» и категория «Дисплей».
- Прокрутите список до блока «Сопутствующие параметры» и нажмите по плитке «Расширенные параметры дисплея».
- В конце перечня сведений о дисплее будет ссылка «Свойства видеоадаптера для дисплея», по которой и нужно нажать для открытия следующего окна.
- В нем перейдите на вкладку «Управление цветом» и нажмите по кнопке с аналогичным названием.
- Изначально устройство, скорее всего, будет выбрано неправильно, поэтому разверните список и найдите там свой экран.
- Активируйте для него галочку «Использовать мои параметры для этого устройства» и щелкните по «Добавить», чтобы ознакомиться с доступными цветовыми профилями или установить свой.
- Если в списке со стандартными цветовыми профилями есть те, которые поддерживают HDR, можете выбрать и попробовать проверить работу монитора. Для установки своих профилей щелкните по «Обзор» и выберите ранее полученный файл. Гарантировать работу пользовательских профилей мы не можем, поскольку все зависит от того, под какие цели они создавались и являются ли вообще корректными.
Способ 2: Управление драйвером монитора
Метод управления драйвером монитора можно считать комплексным, поскольку он подразумевает выполнение ряда различных действий, направленных на улучшение его работы, включение необходимых технологий, среди которых HDR, а также исправление возможных конфликтов. Мы расставим следующие рекомендации по сложности их реализации и общей действенности. Вы можете приступить к выполнению первой инструкции и переходить к следующим в том случае, если исправить ситуацию с работой HDR не получится.
Замена драйвера на рекомендуемый системой
Многие мониторы с поддержкой HDR не нуждаются в дополнительном драйвере от разработчиков и должны нормально функционировать с технологией сразу после подключения. Однако иногда может потребоваться замена драйвера на рекомендуемый системой, если он не установился по умолчанию. Данный метод прост в реализации и не требует использования сторонних программ или поиска подходящих файлов в сети, поскольку все происходит через системное меню Windows 11.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши по «Пуску» и из появившегося контекстного меню выберите пункт «Диспетчер устройств».
- Разверните раздел «Мониторы» и дважды щелкните по названию используемого монитора для перехода в его свойства.

- В новом окне щелкните по «Найти драйверы на этом компьютере».
- Далее выберите «Выбрать драйвер из списка доступных драйверов на этом компьютере».
- Скорее всего, вы увидите только один драйвер для универсального монитора. Подтвердите его установку, по завершении перезагрузите компьютер и проверьте, сможете ли вы использовать HDR.
Удаление текущего драйвера
Вариант с удалением драйвера монитора можно использовать как сам по себе, чтобы вместо него установился стандартный, так и в связке со следующими рекомендациями, когда речь идет об инсталляции фирменного ПО от производителя устройства. Это действие не должно привести к пропаже изображения на экране, поскольку его вывод обеспечивается и без всяких драйверов. Удаление происходит через то же меню «Диспетчера устройств», о котором уже было сказано выше. В нем вам необходим пункт «Удалить устройство».
Скачивание драйвера от производителя монитора
Если монитор оснащен поддержкой HDR и дополнительными технологиями, скорее всего, производитель сделал для него специализированный драйвер, который обеспечивает корректную работу всех этих функций. Проще всего его найти на официальном сайте, введя название модели своего устройства. Однако есть и другие методы, более детальную информацию о которых вы найдете в другой статье на нашем сайте по ссылке ниже.

Использование CD с драйвером
Предполагается, что сейчас во многих современных системных блоках и ноутбуках просто отсутствует слот для считывания CD и DVD, однако производители различного оборудования все еще часто выпускают файлы для устройств на таких дисках и поставляют их в комплектации. Относится это и к мониторам, в комплекте с которыми вполне может быть диск с драйвером. Его можно использовать в том случае, если предыдущий вариант поиска файлов не увенчался успехом или же предложенная версия ПО не подходит для включения HDR.
Способ 3: Проверка подключения
В большинстве случаев тип подключения монитора к компьютеру для работы HDR не важен, как и используемый видеоадаптер (дискретный или интегрированный) для вывода изображения. Однако иногда возникают конфликтные ситуации, из-за чего некоторые технологии становятся недоступными. Советуем подключить монитор к дискретной видеокарте, а не к материнской плате, а также проверить надежность соединения и по возможности выбрать другой свободный порт. Иногда решением станет замена HDMI на DisplayPort или наоборот, что зависит от текущего варианта подключения.

Способ 4: Изменение режима работы монитора
Если покопаться в настройках операционной системы, то в окне управления драйвером видеоадаптера можно найти список всех доступных режимов работы дисплея. Возможно, среди них как раз находится поддерживающий HDR, но по каким-то причинам не выбранный как активный. Давайте проверим это и изменим настройку, если таковая будет присутствовать в списке режимов.
- Находясь в «Параметрах», на панели слева выберите раздел «Система», затем переключитесь на категорию «Дисплей».
- Щелкните по «Расширенные параметры дисплея», чтобы перейти в следующее меню.
- В нем нажмите по ссылке «Свойства видеоадаптера для дисплея».
- Далее необходимо отобразить список всех доступных режимов, для чего внизу отведена кнопка с соответствующим названием.
- В списке режимов найдите, есть ли среди них подходящее разрешение экрана с поддержкой HDR. Если да, выберите его и посмотрите, получилось ли тем самым активировать технологию.
Способ 5: Изменение разрешения дисплея
По большей части данный метод исправления HDR подойдет для обладателей 4K-мониторов, которые не используют максимальное разрешение экрана. Дело в том, что на некоторых моделях устройств HDR перестает работать, если разрешение экрана понижается. Вам понадобится открыть параметры дисплея, что уже было показано выше, развернуть «Разрешение дисплея» и выбрать последний вариант из списка. Изменения вступают в силу сразу же, и вы можете проверить, пропадет ли ошибка с работой HDR.
Способ 6: Обращение в поддержку производителя монитора
Если при помощи предложенных методов решения вам так и не удалось найти подходящее, возможно, проблема заключается в отсутствии поддержки HDR на вашем мониторе или неочевидных настройках, которые необходимо включить конкретно для этой модели. Для решения ситуации оптимальным выходом станет обращение в поддержку на официальном сайте производителя. Вам помогут разобраться с драйверами и требуемыми параметрами. Возможно, даже подскажут, совместим ли режим HRD с конкретными играми, если он не работает как раз в них.

HDR technology is well-liked by consumers, and Windows users want their displays to support the latest technology. But Windows 11 may show that HDR certification is missing.
If your display supports HDR, but Windows shows you that HDR certification is missing, you might feel confused. But do not worry. I have you covered.
As a technology geek, I have studied many different operating systems. Windows is one of the most popular operating systems out there, so I want to help people solve their problems related to Windows.
If you face the HDR certification not found in Windows 11 problem, I will tell you all the fixes in this article.
So keep reading this article until the end to find out how to fix the HDR certification not found on Windows 11 problem.
What is HDR?
Before we tell you why HDR certification can be missing on Windows 11, it is better first to be clear about what HDR is and what HDR certification means.
The high-dynamic-range (HDR) technique enhances the display signal quality. The retroactively labeled standard dynamic range is compared with it (SDR).
With HDR, the luminance and colors of movies and images are represented differently in the signal, allowing for the portrayal of brighter and more detailed highlights, darker and more detailed shadows, and a more comprehensive range of more intense colors.
Compatible screens can get a higher quality image source thanks to HDR. It doesn’t enhance a display’s inherent qualities (brightness, contrast, and color capabilities). Because not all HDR displays are created equal, HDR material will seem different on each device.
Prior to HDR, pixel number, density (resolution), and display frame rate increases were the most common ways to improve display fidelity. HDR, on the other hand, increases the perceived fidelity of the existing individual pixels.
Despite the enormous advancements in screen and display technology since the obsolescence of the earlier cathode ray tubes (CRT), standard dynamic range (SDR) is still dependent on and constrained by these features.
The greatest brightness level that SDR formats can depict is about 100 nits. This figure rises to somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 nits for HDR. HDR isn’t usually utilized to its full potential in practice. Peak brightness limits for HDR content are frequently 1,000 or 4,000 nits.
Because of this technology, the brightest parts of an image can be brighter, and the darkest parts of an image can be darker. If a WCG is used, the colorful part of an image can be even more colorful.
HDR is often confused as being the same as WCG. WCG(Wide Color Gamuts) is a specific subset of colors. HDR displays usually have WCG. But it is not exclusive to HDR displays. Even SDR displays can have WCG.

To ensure a seamless HDR experience, it’s crucial to focus on resolving any common issues and enhancing your video playback quality. This will help fully utilize your display capabilities for an immersive visual experience.
Resolving Common HDR Issues
First, we need to check whether the display supports HDR. Navigate to Settings > System > Display, and ensure “Use HDR” is toggled on. If the display supports it, options like “Play HDR games and apps” and “Stream HDR video” should be visible.
If we encounter issues, such as HDR certification not found, it might be due to outdated monitor drivers. To resolve this, visit the manufacturer’s website to download the latest drivers.
Auto HDR might not always work perfectly. For a consistent experience, we might need to adjust the HDR settings manually. Launch the Windows HDR Calibration app from the Microsoft Store to fine-tune brightness and shadow details.
Pro Tip: Adjust brightness and contrast to suit different content types.
Enhancing Video Playback Quality
To improve video playback quality in HDR, verifying and configuring PlayReady DRM settings can be essential. PlayReady is Microsoft’s digital rights management technology, ensuring that HDR content streams seamlessly. Open your media player settings and confirm that PlayReady is enabled.
Some streaming platforms might require toggling “Stream HDR video” in Settings > Apps > Video Playback. This setting optimizes playback for HDR content.
For smoother video streaming, ensure that your internet connection is stable and fast. A slow connection can cause buffering or drop the quality from HDR to SDR.
In our experience, using a wired connection over Wi-Fi can make a significant difference. Also, double-check that your streaming service subscription supports HDR content streaming. Adjusting these settings can significantly enhance the HDR viewing experience, uncovering every detail and color.
| Steps to Enable HDR Playback | Possible Issues | Solutions |
| Enable “Stream HDR video” in settings | HDR content not streaming | Check PlayReady settings |
| Ensure stable internet connection | Buffering or quality drops | Use wired connection |

I bought a Samsung Odyssey G7 32" few months ago
I recently noticed Windows says HDR certification not found and shows 1499 peak brightness
I searched for possible solutions and learned that incorrect peak brightness might mess up HDR (is it true?)
I found a reddit post about my issue and some1 suggested to use a tool called CRU to fix it
I’m not expert at these things so I decided to ask u first:
Is it permanent change?
Is it dangerous?
What does it change exactly?
Should I do it?

You need to set the brightness and contrast to the maximum, manually.
Huh?
I just checked with my current monitor. In HDR mode, the brightness is not set to maximum.
My monitor appears in the advanced display settings as HDR 400 True Black (1.1).

Sorry, but I don’t follow your post.Do you mean that you are unable to enable HDR for your monitor?
HDR is already turned on
I wanted to know is there a problem if windows can’t find the HDR certification and should I use the method to fix it?

You mean in monitor settings or nvidia control panel settings?
and you saying if windows detected correct certification, it would change these settings automatically?

Monitor settings, if it looks like poop. Same to get maximum brightness. The OSD!
Also Windows 11 usually will claim it’s not even found.

Aha
I set it to 50% brightness and contrast when I bought the monitor ( suggested by hardware unboxed youtube channel )
I will try to test 100% for sometime to see differences

Windows HDR Calibration is for most things you’re doing, on a global level.
Then, if playing Halo Infinite, additionally use its HDR calibration tool to fine tune it further for Halo Infinite.

After setting the mentioned values to 100, the Windows HDR Calibration app will allow you to tune the maximum and minimum levels for HDR. After setting that up correctly, it should also be a lot easier to see the GUI menus.Windows HDR Calibration is for most things you’re doing, on a global level.
Then, if playing Halo Infinite, additionally use its HDR calibration tool to fine tune it further for Halo Infinite.
Do I need to choose maximum of 600 nits?

Just the maximum that looks right, without it looking washed out. And when asked for the minimum and it asks for the minimum brightness of a visible object, select where you can barely see it.
Yes, the maximum should be close to the maximum rating of nits, when you do so.
