Hello,

I have a windows 11 computer with two monitors; one that supports HDR and one that does not. I have HDR enabled, and it used to work fine. However, a few days ago, windows started applying HDR to google chrome, which I typically keep on my non-HDR supported monitor. This makes the exposure way too high and is unusable. I think the HDR glitch is not only limited to chrome, however, and windows tries to apply HDR to anything on the non-HDR monitor. Any ideas?
 
Windows has had issues properly outputting and setting HDR modes for as long as it has been popular.
in 10 & 11 i have had constant issues with colors and brightness glitching while HDR is enabled and HDR itself having trouble even being enabled and staying as it should.

have run dual display setups with 2x HDR displays,
dual display setups with 1x HDR, 1x not,
and single HDR display setup.
the issue(s) have occurred with each type.

my best option has come to be just enabling it on the fly when i want to view/play something with HDR content and then disabling it again when that is over.
