So I recently just got a new monitor that supports HDR and it is fantastic! One thing I did notice is that now when I take screenshots in MSFS all of the photos seem to be extremely over exposed as you can see below.

Does anyone know of a work around for this? I would hate to have to turn off HDR just to get screenshots!

I use the XBox game bar for this it saves a SDR and HDR version of the screenshot. I believe Geforce Experience does the same.

I have a steel series keyboard and have remaped the Print Screen button when playing MSFS to be the shortcut to the XBox gamebar for this.

Hey so I tried using Xbox game bar for screenshots and every time I try to screenshot nothing happens, I set up a key bind for game bar and it's no doing anything.

As far as NVIDIA goes, I tried to take screenshots but it doesn't apply my in game NVIDIA filters so my photo is very dull..

It should have fly out window saying Screenshot saved. What happens when you use the capture button on the gamebar?

Why not use the Snip & Sketch ap in windows - one also edit the pic you take - to your satisfaction ??

I was able to get the game bar to work and take my screenshots and they save them in HDR mode perfectly!

NOW! The issue im having is every time I take a screenshot my sim feels like it lost half its frames, I have to click into the settings menu and back in and it sorts its self out. 

This is my next battle to fight! 😞

Could it be when saving the two images. The can be quite large. Are they being saved to a ssd? I am just guessing here.

I on my PC now (was on my phone) and I see your signature. I see that you do have more than one NVME drive and a much better system than me. The only thing I can think to try is watch your task manager and see how much the disk usage occurs when taking a screenshot. Could it be antivirus scanning both files (png and jxr) when they are saved? Do AV programs even scan image files? You could try excluding that directory from being scanned.

Its seems that a PC reboot solved the lagging issue for me, if anything else pops up I'll post in the thread.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions!
