Fixing Grey Background when using Snipping Tool

Problem:

My OS is Windows 11. Just recently when I select to save an image, the resulting image is keeping a grey background within the selected target.

Resolution:

Disabling HDR in the Display Settings is indeed the most common way to avoid the grey background issue in Snipping Tool screenshots on Windows 11.

Steps:

1. Go to Settings > System > Display.
2. Select the HDR-capable display (if applicable).
3. Under “Use HDR,” toggle the switch to “Off.”
4. Take your screenshot.
5. Remember to re-enable HDR if desired.
