Wacky colours in Chrome solution 2

I previously blogged about wackly colours in Chrome being fixed by turning off hardware acceleration, which is a crap solution but I came across a new solution which allows hardware acceleration to stay on.

For example the google logo wrongly appears like this:

And should appear like this:

The solution:

1. open a new tab
2. browse to: chrome://flags/
3. search for "color"

4. set Forced color profile to sRGB

5. click relaunch

Check hardware acceleration is on:

1. open new tab

2. browse to : chrome://settings

3. click Advanced on left side menu

4. click system on left side menu

5. enable "use hardware acceleration when available"

Windows 10 Stop USB power when shut down. Enable Sleep & Network connection while in sleep.

Issue: Power to USB port stays on while shut down.
Solution:

1. Open Control Panel
2. Power Options
3. Choose What Power Buttons Do
4. Activate Settings Currentlly Unavailable
5. Shutdown Settings
6. Disable Activate Fast Start

Issue: Sleep does not appear in Shut Down Menu
Solution:

1. For windows 10 Pro (and home if GP installed)
2. press Win key
3. Type: gpedit.msc
4. Press return
5. Group Policy Editor opens
6. Click Computer Configuration
7. click Administrative Templates
8. click Windows Components
9. Click File Explorer
10.Click power options menu
11.Double-click Show sleep
12.Select Enabled
13.Click OK

You may also need to enable sleep in power options:

1. Control Panel
2. Power options
3. Choose what the power buttons do
4. Change settings that are currently unavailable
5. Enable: Sleep
6. Save Changes

To keep network alive during sleep:

1. open regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power
3. Set CsEnabled to 1
