    Very bright HDR in windows media player


    I turned on the HDR option in Windows 11 and calibrated with the tool offered by Windows. Everything looks great, but when I watch a video, Windows Media Player plays it at 200% of the video's original brightness. The same video I tried when opening it in VLC Media Player looks good. It does not happen with a single video, this happens with all videos that are recorded under HDR
