Over-exposed on non-HDR monitor

After todays update to 103.0.5060.53 Chrome is completely over exposed.

My main monitor: ASUS PG279Q (No HDR support)

Secondary monitor: ASUS PG27UQ (HDR on)

With Chrome on the PG279, it looks over exposed as if its running in HDR mode. When I move Chrome to the PG27UQ monitor it looks normal.

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to help bring this to our attention.

Our team is investigating reports of this behavior, and is working on a fix.

In the meantime, you may temporarily work around this issue by modifying your Windows HDR settings using the steps below, which may also be found in this Microsoft help center article.

Windows 10

Select the Start button, then select Settings, then System, then Display.
If you have multiple displays connected to your PC, choose the HDR-capable display under Rearrange your displays.
Select Windows HD Color settings.
Under Display capabilities, check to make sure it says Yes next to Use HDR.
Disable Use HDR.

Windows 11

Select the Start button, then enter settings. Select Settings, then System, then Display.
If you have multiple displays connected to your PC, choose the HDR-capable display at the top.

Having the same issue. Disabling HDR on my HDR monitor is NOT an acceptable fix.

same issue, started probably after last update of win10 or chrome. it is somehow linked to the displayed content, switches between normal and overexposed when you scroll through twitter or email with embedded pictures.

Disabling HDR is not an acceptable workaround. How can I downgrade to the previous version of Chrome until this is fixed?

Same exact issue still. Disabling HDR is not an acceptable option. Video of the issue below.

Same issue. For me it happens when that chrome window load certain images.

Whenever an image trigers it or not seems to be random.

Two displays, one with HDR and another without HDR. Nvidia GPU.

It only happens on the non DHR display.

same issue here
some pages on my non-HDR monitor are extremely overexposed color.

Moving the window onto the HDR enabled screen fixes that immediately.

TEMP fix:
chrome:flags - force color profile -switch from default to sRGB (this more or less disables HDR functionality on your HDR screen inside chrome)

looking forward for an updated chrome version

Thanks DanielK. That's better fix than that from "chrome team" disabling HDR in whole Win.

Having the same issue after I updated chrome.

I have a HDR main, and non-hdr secondary monitor. Before it would adapt smartly to which monitor I had chrome on. Now on the non-hdr monitor it looks blown out.

The fix from Abhik is not an option for me, the HDR settings don't appear under the non-hdr monitor.
