Over-exposure in screenshots and recordings with HDR in Windows 11

Hello, I am inquiring about an issue I can't seem to solve (without turning HDR off all-together, which defeats the purpose of having it even be an option in Windows 11)

In recordings (primarily using OBS) and in screenshots (with snip and sketch) everything appears extremely over-exposed / bright with HDR enabled. This is a big problem for me as I actually, well, want to use the OS normally. I record lots of clips and take many screenshots and I've finally gotten fed up of it and am now looking for a solution. Any help appreciated, thanks

(snip and sketch has since stopped doing it, however it likes to do it randomly now. commonly happens in fullscreen programs and also my web browser for some reason)

    Same issue here. Single Monitor. Using Teams or Zoom the output is completely washed out for everyone when sharing my screen. Ryzen 5800x, 2080ti, Windows 11 Fall Update 2022.

    I have the same problem. XPS13 9310 OLED

    My co-worker need to use tools like teamviewer to connect to my laptop, and it's always overexposed when HDR is on.
