Hello everyone, I have a "BIG PROBLEM" with my favorite monitor of all time… my Acer Predator when I enable HDR on Windows 11/10 in almost every game it's just too brighter/whiter and if the game isn't too brighter when I want to do a print screen it will be brighter/whiter again… even my mouse cursor it's greyed out/black sometimes and I didn't change anything… I research before asking questions on the internet and the problem is with Auto-HDR which doesn't commute from SDR content to HDR content and that's the problem with the brighter/whiter screen. I search on Acer for some drivers/ICM profiles but my problem STARTS here! I can't install the Acer official icm profile in the color management from Windows it just doesn't appear and I "installed" it correctly, I try searching for some other icm for my monitor made by users/fans like everyone from this community again not a single icm available or probably I didn't search how I should. And lastly the second problem is when I try to install again the XB253Q.inf in the device manager Windows wouldn't let me do that because it says it's an older version unspecified file, not a signed driver, and much more it just refuses to install this .inf driver. So after all this info if someone can help me to install the ice profile for my monitor and the .inf in device manager I will be so grateful

    UPDATE: I manage to set the icm profile but still my games look too brighter when I set in settings SDR brightness from the HDR menu (Windows 11) when I set it to 0% it looks kind of normal but too darker to be reasonably playable also the game looks darker but Windows is unusable because it's so darker with SDR brightness to 0
