Multiple DEV versions going back 6 months? Took me a while to figure out what the problem was.
I wonder if anyone has come up with a way to capture a screenshot in a game or on Chrome with Windows 11 HDR on without there being a massive oversaturated light bloom making the image way too bright. There is a fix for Chrome by basically turning off HDR in Chrome. I can do the same in a game by temporarily turning off Win 11 HDR but what a pain... I put in a bug report to Dev team.

I know its a pain but.. here is a solution:
The Xbox game bar (Windows key+G) allows to take screenshot with HDR enabled.
it saves 2 files, one in HDR and one converted to SDR

That works, thanks. The .jxr image looks OK at first glance as I can see a flash from too bright to normal until I try using it, then the light bloom occurs again. The .png image is excellent and I can create another screenshot for cropping and pasting. Windows key and G to pull up the Windows gaming bar on Win 11. the images are stored in John/videos/capture folder.
I am on the Win 11 Canary builds (the bleeding edge of beta channel for Windows 11) and it is still an issue so I don't expect a fix.
