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.

    Unfortunately going on the beta channel didn't work for long. A few hours later the problem reappeared.

    In the end what I did was return the monitor and ask for a refund. I strongly suggest you do so to avoid further issues.

    In my opinion, the problem is that in these models Philips allows the software to modify the monitors' settings, rather than being completely isolated one from the other. So, any software bug at any level (e.g. at the O.S., driver, or application level) could alter the monitor's behavior.

    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?
