Updated GPU driver is causing my Skyrim to look washed

[Heppai]

I know this is something really simple but Ive played around with my settings and I cant figure it out.

 

I updated my 2070 to the latest driver and everything, inclduding the nvidia overlay looks washed out. The colors look pale, the menu screen has a faint white noise esque look to it.  

To clarify, everything else on my pc is fine, I actually did some changes to my settings and it looks even better on the PC. BUT none of it carries over to the game.

 

I dont think this is an ENB issue, ive tried that too. Its a setting that needs to be changed, I think. Any ideas?

If it's anything displayed on your screen and not only a particular game, it could be as simple as changing the dynamic output range.

1. Open your NVIDIA Control Panel and go to "Change Resolution" (under Display)
2. 1 and 2 should be already set (verify 2 is set to your display's native resolution just in case)
3. in 3 set "Use NVIDIA color settings" and confirm "Output dynamic range" is set to Full. Press Apply if you made any changes

Apologies, I googled this and tried it but im using a TV for my primary. The output dynamic range is only allowing me to select Limited. Full isnt even an option.

But that aside its only happening to skyrim. Tbh, I havent tried other games to compare. 

Before I began troubleshooting I was using default color settings and now my default colors are even better. However when I go in game, it changes to those washed out colors.

I checked a few other games and none of them have this same issue. Washed out faded look. Only Skyrim. Its gotta be a setting somewhere.

Here are my settings. On the second screenshot, is there a setting that I'm not seeing? anything that stands out?

I think I fixed it. It had nothing to do with settings. I switched my enb forceborderless to true and its back to normal.
