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.

    Hi Michael,

    It seems that my problem is gone now.
    Since my post this afternoon no more spontaneous changes to racing mode.

    Thanks Huub! I saw your post earlier today and made the name change to the offending directory, but didn't have a chance to reboot until a while ago. Amazing work!

    You should report this to HP and I will do the same. They need to properly fix this. I have a B2B account at HP with some contacts and will try that route on my end.

    Thanks again. You saved the sanity and eyesight of many users.
