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)
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Insider preview versions are betas. Microsoft releases features/fixes to people signed up for the insider program so that they can test whether their features/fixes actually work, before they go in regular Windows versions through Windows Update. From my experience, lead time is approximately 6 months to a year before mainstream consumers get it.
almost two years later and still no fix for this, anyone find any work around? Or apps that are better?
Turn hdr off while taking a screenshot turn back on afterwards.
It's the only fix so far.
That really is not good enough, is it?
MS Photos also has a nasty habit of switching to HDR if the jpg encoding is anything other than absolutely standard - rendering many old images impossible (Photoshop does not have this issue, nor does ACDSee, using the same sources)
Not sure if anyone find it out yet but you can fix the snipping tool by going to settings in snipping tool and then tick: HDR screenshot colour corrector :), After that my screenshots are fixed and working fine :)
