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

I had also used tool called: Windows HDR calibration, with might also have helped in my case.

almost two years later and still no fix for this, anyone find any work around? Or apps that are better?

Ugh I swear the people that reply to this who appear to be offical representatives of Microsoft don't know a thing. They barely speak English, they simply reference text book problem solving manuals sitting on their desk or in their computer somewhere, sitting in the middle of India across the Atlantic. They know nothing. This complaint from the OP is from nearly two years ago exactly, and still there is no solution. Every suggestion made by the so-called Microsoft Official is just text book suggestions. I know how rude my opinion is on the matter but it's true nonetheless. Read at the response "sorry for misunderstood" like, what is that? That's broken English. Let alone their weird names. This crossover between English and whatever language they speak creates an EXTREME disconnect and people cannot communicate clearly with them because they don't understand anything. They're just 3rd world pee-ons that seriously get paid **** to supposedly provide support. I could find those solutions they suggest on my own simply by searching online. It would be nice to actually get a real developer response that says here's what the deal is and then they take this issue to the top and they actually fix it. Naw, instead it will take 20 years. So tired of the disconnect and text book suggestions. HDR is great where it works but even Microsoft's own built-in screenshot code is not somehow compatible with Microsoft's own HDR technology? OK because that makes a lot of sense. "Sorry for misunderstood."

I would be surprised if it works with HDR enabled, the issue is Microsoft's HDR feature and nothing else. But please do let me know in case my assumption based on loads of research and testing is wrong...

Yeah, as long as it works for you and you are happy with those settings it's not that important what exactly is happening behind the scenes. I was just confused by what you were describing, but now I understand. In my case, as long as almost everything looks better with HDR disabled, and the screenshots work too, I'll keep it disabled. But clearly Microsoft could do better here, as not everyone has the time to fiddle with various settings for days to get something that they can live with.
