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)

    The bad thing is, i have not found this issue mentioned in their backlog...

    IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSSED @microsoft. It's so much pain when I have teams call and I need to share my screen but I have to turn off HDR every time because my colleagues can't see anything thanks to the overexposure...

    I just think its silly that Microsoft doesn't properly support a technology thats definitely mainstream by now.
