I hope this helps other people who cannot figure it out like i did for the longest time. I'm really mad because i have been trying to get it to work for months now and one simple hint at this would have saved me hours of troubleshooting. No word about the required paid extension. However, it might take some time for your system to enable HDR, and your screen might go black for a few seconds. That is, you can press the Windows key + Alt + B on your keyboard to toggle the Auto HDR feature. How is it that this is not mentioned anywhere in the Netflix or Microsoft support pages on HDR playback? They all basically just say that you have to enable HDR in your windows display settings and that's it. A shortcut key combination is available in Windows 11 to quickly enable or disable the Auto HDR. You need the PAID "HEVC video extention" app from the microsoft store to enable HDR for netflix on a windows PC. I finally stumbled across an older topic on the microsoft forum talking about the same issue. Netflix just never showed the "HDR" logo for movies and it never played back HDR in any way, shape or form. I have been struggling to get it to work for a long time. (First of all sorry mods, i couldn't decide what subforum was best fitted for this)
