I'll say it again. You have it misconfigured. That isn't what HDR is supposed to do. You either have settings wrong in Windows, or in the games.

That is default windows, if it's misconfigured then it ships misconfigured. I've done nothing except click the slider that turns it on, and then 5 seconds later off again as the dark mode settings menu blasts me with the full force of the screen.

If default doesn't work, I don't really feel like repeatedly blasting my eyes with full brightness until I figure out how to make it not burn out my retinas.

I think the issue is HDR requires the r part, being range, and I want it to not blast my eyes which anything above 20% brightness does if I'm inside, and default probably uses 100% of the brightness range and that actually causes pain.

Edit: to be clear, never made it to a game. Getting flash banged by the settings menu was bad enough thanks, don't need to deal with something intended to be a flashbang.

Okay you clearly have zero interest in what people are telling you so I'm not going to bother. Enjoy your misconfigured HDR.
