    I did a fresh install of Windows 11 but when starting av video the screen turns red. When I stop the video the screen turn to normal. Happens with any player. I suspected Nvidia drivers. I tested to uninstall Nvidia driver then tested a video and this time it did not turn red. I did test a couple of older versions Nvidia drivers. It did not help. I have never seen an issue like this. GPU is GTX 1050 Ti tested with latest and older versions of Nvidia drivers. I have no idea how to fix this. Could anyone help with this issue? Thanks in advance.

    I found this temporarily way around it is when I start a video and the screen get full red I toggle ON and OFF Night Mode and the screen gets normal again. This issue does not happen when Nvidia drivers is not installed. So who is to blame. Windows 11 or Nvidia drivers? Is there a way to get it back to normal? I would really appreciate it.
