The Windows OS HDR method works and is reliable, but it isn't very user-friendly. I'm not sure if afedchin would want to add Windows HDR support to Kodi as a temporary solution. For one, it would require some instruction inside Kodi if it was available because it causes incorrect playback of SDR content. Two, you would have to exit Kodi, enable HDR, go back to Kodi, play an HDR video and then exit Kodi again to disable HDR before playing SDR content. Using a desktop media player for HDR content could be just as easy.

Improvements in HDR video support for Windows could be slow because of the lack of current HDR video content on Windows and the absence of any cheap HDR computer monitors and laptops. Improving Windows HDR for grey market or illegal 4K UHD Blu-ray rips is not likely. 4K video games, by comparison, are not impacted nearly as much.
