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)

    For NVIDIA Users: Try to enable NVIDIA Coloroptions in the lower section of Resolution at the Nvidia Controlpanel.

    This worked for me and i can watch my loved HDR in Chrome/OperaGX.

    HDR Videos will still be overexposed on screenshot as you can see on my screenshot, but the rest is fine !

    This did the trick for me! Awesome, dankeschoen!

    2023, you'd think it wouldn't be an issue would you >.< notice it when gaming and trying to screen capture a certain bit rather then screenshot the whole screen.

    WilliamX92 I have had similar problems sharing my screen within Teams, when I look at the screen it is fine but sharing it it becomes overexposed. The same happens when I remote into the machine using TeamViewer, however the fix suggested above has if not fixed the problem then at least made my screen viewable but I had to move the slider all the way down.
