Starting with HDR on makes editor washed out

[SamMurphy]

Issue Type: Bug

Noticed on the latest update, if I start VS Code with HDR turned on in display settings on my second monitor. The application appears washed out (very white) turning HDR off and restarting the application fixes this issue.

VS Code version: Code 1.37.0 (036a6b1, 2019-08-08T02:33:50.993Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17763

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Not compatible with Windows 10 builtin HDR (#78029)
• 1.36 is incredibly "bright" (#76604)

What version were you on before you went to 1.37?

#65816 (comment) is from someone who saw a similar-sounding issue appear in 1.36.

Further down that thread is a suggestion to try the Exploration build.

[SamMurphy]

Tested the exploration build, and it works correctly in HDR.

Issue looks the same as #76604 from the screenshots.
