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

I bought the expensive PC I am on right now to do GRAPICS AND VIDEO WORK. It is useless for that purpose because Microsoft is unable to provide a functional OS. I would have to constantly turn HDR on and off.

So as far as I'm concerned Microsoft owes me an OS fix or a refund for the OS or an equivalent monitor (from a non-existing list) that doesn't interact badly with this bug (undocumented feature) so it no longer ruins every screen capture. They have no idea how many computer professionals use screen capture to get the right hex codes for an image.

And of course as usual their official reps have no idea that the problem ever existed, or that the company claims to have fixed it and has not (as usual for MS). After all Bill said that they are a MARKETING COMPANY. In marketing all you have to do is get them to buy it. It doesn't have to work.

Maybe I should have bought a Mac and just given up on Microslop, the empire built on theft.

Funny enough the workaround is win+alt+printscreen which will place the screenshot in the xbox gamebar folder which you can show with win+g

So they do have the functionality just not in their basic screenshot application.

Unfortunately other screenshot applications have the same HDR issue, but the xbox gamebar does not.

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)

I've discovered that using the Xbox screen capture utility will circumvent this issue. I'm not convinced that it captures in HDR but it does allow me to run the game in HDR and get screens without overexposure, even if I'm not getting HDR screenshots. Problem solved, mostly...

This worked perfectly for me, thanks!
Still not fixed in the current Windows version though.

I have the Samsung UR55 28" which looks awful without HDR enabled. I have the same problem but i notice that when the "Snipping Tool" program captures over-exposured screenshots i go to the display settings turn Off HDR and then turn On again. After that the sceenshots looks normal.
