Monitor settings randomly change

I've been experiencing an issue with my Philips monitor where the SmartImage feature unpredictably switches to "Racing" mode on its own. Despite manually disabling this setting, it often reactivates itself multiple times until it finally remains off, only to recur upon restarting my PC or monitor. This problem emerged just last week, despite my having used this new PC and monitor setup for nearly a year without any similar issues. I've meticulously reviewed most of the accessible settings without identifying any that could be causing this behavior. Additionally, I've explored the monitor's on-screen menu but found nothing that explains the automatic switch to "Racing" mode, leading me to suspect it might be related to a setting on my PC. However, I've yet to pinpoint exactly what could be triggering this. If anyone has insights or suggestions on how to resolve this, your advice would be immensely valuable. Thank you in advance for your help.

    I have HP Omen and Philips monitor too. Could that be somehow linked with the problem?

    I can say that this has been happening to me since I got my monitor, then it stopped for about a year and now the problem has returned.

    However I am still running Windows 10 and have never had Windows 11 running on my laptop so I doubt it can be a Win11 issue.

    Thank for getting back to us.

    Do you have a "Metadata" event log in your device similar to other community members?

    If so, is the situation the same after adjusting DeviceSetupManager?
