Darker Colors in Allegro PCB Venture License After Enabling Nvidia GPU Usage (SPMHGF-10)

Hello

I recently updated PCB Editor from 17.4 Hotfix 11 to Hotfix 34. When I loaded up a board with the Allegro PCB Venture license for the first time with the new hotfix installed, it asked me if I wanted to use my Nvidia GPU for something (Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000). I don't remember the exact language, but the message code was SPMHGF-10. When I reloaded the board, the colors were significantly darker. I opened up the same board with the Allegro PCB Designer license, and the colors were brighter, same as before I updated to hotfix 34.

How do I get the brighter colors back, without having to switch PCB licenses? The only clue I have is that when I load a board with the Venture license, the command window has an extra line saying "Loaded GPU Plugin from: plugins/gpu". Where can I find this location, and how do I revert it what it was before?

This article below also states it's in someplace called "Registry/Settings". I don't know where that is either:

I'll put some images below. Notice how one image has significantly darker pin numbers and dimensions. I also made sure Shadow mode was disabled, so that's not the issue:
