Windows 10: HDR setting on monitor causing washed out screenshots on Chrome only

SHDR hurts the eyes a bit so hopefully there's a solution. I only see this washed out issue occur on chrome browsers for some reason - and it's recent too past two days.Screen shots and snips show up as exceptionally washed out with low contrast on chrome but not on mozilla. Anybody have a fix for this?

:)

 

Screenshot with HDR enabled is washed out. The SDR content brightness slider is to blame.

I currently use a Dell Alienware AW423DW QDOLED display that fully supports HDR on Win 11 (Version 10.0.22000 Build 22000)

HDR itself works fine, but when I take a screenshot with either print screen or a 3rd party tool, its washed out.

It also causes stuff like websites (Even Twitter/AirBnB/Reddit what not) to be washed out for a screenshot sometimes.

I have figured out that with the SDR Content Brightness slide to 0, all screenshots comes out normal and fine, but when its slide to 70-90 range

that I normally use, its causing the issue.

Even dragging a twitter window from my main HDR monitor my other monitor which is SDR only will cause that window to be washed up, need to refresh to hold SDR colour.

It seems to be a problem for so long, how come its so horrible on Windows? Any workarounds/solutions?

 

HDR on HDR monitor causes issue on secondary, non-HDR monitor

I have an Aorus AD27QD (HDR) monitor as my primary display and an ultrawide 34UM88-P (Non-HDR) as my secondary. If HDR is enabled in windows and I go to a full screen video on the non-HDR monitor after a few seconds it will flicker blue then become severely
washed out. Coming out of full screen fixes this. If HDR is not enabled full screen shows the colors perfectly normally.

Secondarily, with windows HDR on on the Aorus, the colors dim pretty drastically. HDR content great but anything that isnt HDR is dim enough to make me question if my brightness is turned down. (Its not, its 90/100). The white of a plain browser window
seems so dim its nearly grey. I also tested this on what I know is a particularly vibrant (non-HDR) . HDR on? Terrible and muted. HDR off? Bright and vibrant.

I have played with in-monitor settings, nvidia control panel, factory reset of monitor, basically everything I can think of. Everything points to it being a windows issue.

I also tried out the suggestions from this post. And it pointed me to this
set of OS release notes which didnt solve my issue either.

I could really use some help because I am really feeling like I wasted my money on this monitor.

HDR and Washed out colors

Does your monitor have any software for it?
Check the support page for new divers, color calibration software, and the ICC profile istaller.

That reminds me, check in control panel to make sure you have the color profile set for that monitor, and not some Windows default one like sRGB.
Both my monitors have the ICC color profiles set
