I play the game primarily in HDR (once you get used to it, it's virtually impossible to play without), among other HDR titles as well. Normally I use the Xbox Game Bar to take HDR screenshots of my games as that's the only software I know of that can actually do it (Nvidia overlay requires HDR to be disabled to take screenshots even though it can now record in HDR oddly enough), and for most of my games, it does so with no problems.
But in D2, when anything becomes overlaid on the screen, such as launcher popups from things such as Origin when your friends start playing a game (though this does not happen with Steam popups), the game reverts to this odd HDR image that looks like it was crudely tonemapped to an SDR space, being incredibly overblown and overexposed. Of course, the Game Bar is an overlay as well, so when I try to take screenshots, a little notification popup comes on top of the game screen as it does, so when it captures the shot, it captures it when the game is doing it's gross blown-out thing. I wish I could link an image of how it looks vs how other games (such as HZD) look using the same exact method, but I know of no image hosting sites that support JXR format.
Is there any way to fix this, or is it simply a consequence of the admittedly shoddy (but still gorgeous when calibrated properly) HDR implementation D2 has? It's as if it tells the display that it is no longer using HDR for the few seconds that things from overlays popup over it, yet it will still display HDR, which looks rancid when displayed in SDR.
Any help or insights would be much appreciated, I know this is a niche issue given HDR support on PC is still in early days, and I'm not the best at explaining things like this.

Screenshots taken using the in-game function while HDR is enabled also do not show up my screenshots folder (Documents/Destiny2/Screenshots) even though the game displays the message that one was taken and with an assigned file name.
