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)

    Well said,

    But still doesn't make sense, microsoft made this .. and it's not compatible with there own software..

    At least for now I have found a temp fix.

    Hdr is fantastic when playing advanced games .. but extremely demanding for 4k, i don't have a comp for that yet.

    Oled hdr has a lot of problems, I feel like we are the ginny pigs for there new toy.

    I can confirm this and sadly I agree it won't be fixed in a while.

    Fun Fact: the Xbox App takes two screenshots. PNG overexposed and the .jxr which is fine, probably with SDR.

    I wonder why...
