ColorDepth specifies the bits-per-pixel color depth to apply to the video adapter.

The ColorDepth setting is used to configure only Windows® PE, and is not applied to the Windows installation. To change the display settings for the Windows installation, see Display in the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup component.

Note

We recommend that you use the default settings. If you select a value for this setting that is not supported by Windows PE, your video adapter, or the display monitor, then Windows PE might show only a blank screen and will not display an error.

Values

color_depth_bits_per_pixel

Specifies the bits-per-pixel color depth to apply to the video adapter.

For example, to specify a color depth of 32 bits, set ColorDepth to 32.

The value for ColorDepth must be supported by the video adapter and the display monitor.
