Are you sure the display settings are correct. You need 10 or 12 bit color explicitly selected in the Nvidia control panel.

Your monitor can't display HDR. By activating HDR in Windows you're just forcing the GPU to render HDR only to have the monitor crush that back into SDR. Probably doing at poor job while at it, too, resulting in unnatural colors.

I'm not using the old BenQ EL2870U from the OP post, I got a new one!
This one with right HDR specifications!

Yes 10-bit is selected in NVIDIA control panel; not a change.

@dcfecta Check Windows Event Viewer (or what's its name), you should be able to at least identify which part is crapping out. Sounds like a driver problem (either video or monitor's).

I've already tried uninstalling, reinstalling numerous display drivers for NVIDIA (including Game and Studio drivers) same results—HDR crashes. I'm currently running Game Ready Driver (451.67, recent version up to date). Yet HDR still randomly display crashes.

Code: 
Windows 10 (2004 build)
256 SSD
16 GB RAM
RTX 2060
NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 451.67

Turning HDR on in Windows causes the crash.

You can still use HDR..
Just turn it on in the application you want to use it on.
With HDR on in Windows I've gone days without an issue and out of nowhere it'll crash or cause a visual issue.

I can verify that it works in Mass Effect Andromeda, AC Odyssey, CoD WWII and MW without turning it on in Windows...

AC Odyssey causes windows to look faded after you exit... Even with HDR off in windows.

The problem is in the implementation of the software you're using.. Nobody follows a single standard.
