Why Are My HDR Screenshots So Bright on Windows 11?

If you're still facing issues, it might be worth checking any third-party color adjustment software you might have installed. Sometimes these can interfere with how screenshots are taken and processed. Just disabling those or temporarily removing them could help.

You might also want to ensure your display settings are calibrated correctly for HDR content. Sometimes, the issue could revolve around how your monitor handles HDR versus SDR content. Using a calibration tool or checking settings in the Display settings menu can make a difference. Just so you know, these adjustments can sometimes vary depending on your specific monitor.

It seems like the color management in Windows 11 can get pretty tricky, especially if you're using dual monitors. One possible fix is to check which GPU is assigned to the applications you're using. Try going to the Display Settings, find the Graphics section, and make sure the game or app you're taking screenshots from is set to one specific GPU. Then, manually add the Snipping Tool to that list and set it to the same GPU. This should help ensure that the tool captures the correct RGB values without any modifications. Good luck!
