    When i close a game and come back to desktop, HDR is dimmed down


    When i play a game with Steam, then i log off the game, i come back to a greyed out screen. I have to turn HDR off then back on to fix this issue. If i open a Windows Edge window, it will flicker back onto bright when passing over the adress bar then back to greyed out or dimmed. This is very anoying.Im on Windows 11.Thanks for your help on solving this!
