New Microsoft Edge wont play HDR videos in YouTube

Tried the flags, blown out and doesnt bump up the brightness as old edge used to on Surface Book 2.

See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/msedge_video-msedge_win10/how-to-play-hdr-content-in-new-microsoft-edge/9121b0dd-77b3-478f-8fcd-a1fceb288cb7?messageId=d05c03b4-a085-488c-b54f-07b3ea7ba6ef&auth=1

Try this:

1.In the address bar, enter "edge://flags/" and press Enter.

2.type "Color" in the search

3. Click on the Force Color Profile drop-down list and select sRGB Linear (HDR, if available).
4. Click the Force Colors drop-down list and select Enabled.
5. Click "Restart" at the bottom.

Let's see if that solves the problem.

that used to be the case, I knew that one, but they changed it again. no i have alreADY stated what i do to get what i want and for things to work for me.

As the title describes, I cannot play/ see HDR YouTube videos - the option is not available any more from the resolution selection.

With previous Edge (prior to 15/01/2020) I could and I could also choose a higher resolution from my screen's native one.

I would like to point out also, that neither Chrome and Firefox provide such option - I really cannot understand why but my issue here is with Edge.

Yes, my screen is HDR capable.

I would highly appreciate any help into solving this matter.

Thank you in advance!

In less than 24 hours 94 people including myself have pressed have the same problem. I've enabled all Edge flags mentioned in this year long thread. I even bought the $1 HEVC Codec from the Mstore. Windows display settings show HDR enabled everywhere. My external monitor shows HDR on the inputs. Youtube just won't show HDR in Edge.
