Can Windows change video settings?

[kittensinurface]

Windows 11 laptop HP 17t-cn300 newly bought. How do I change the contrast, hue, other advanced video settings? I am in Settings > Display, and it has night / red shift, brightness, but I do not see advanced settings such as contrast, hue. The brightness is on max, but I cannot see much on the screen due to this problem. Thank you.

I have the slightly more powerful version of your laptop and there is nothing else than what is in the settings. I have looked on the Intel website for an app but was not successful. However, my screen is extremely bright, so bright that I have to turn it down to 50%. (Its a 4K display)
Latest driver for the Iris XE graphics are here:

Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*

This download installs Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.5382 (WHQL Certified) for Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, and Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors with Intel® Arc™ Graphics.

BTW: I just installed the latest driver and the Intel ARC control center seems to have what you are looking for:

Another thing to be considered: Is your backlight turned down by chance? Look on your keyboard on the F-keys if there is a way to make the screen brighter. On my laptop it is the F2 and F3 key.

By default in Windows per screenshot below .. and most display chipset vendors (eg.Intel, nVIDIA) pre-install their tuning software which can be found also in the Control Panel section.

It is not recommended to bypass standard calibration because it can harm the display itself for a longer period of use, so think twice before adjusting the contrast & brightness into more vivid settings ..
