Window 11 Auto HDR: Works with DX11. Does not work with DX12...

As said in the title. This issue is mentioned all over the steam forum. The auto HDR with Windows 11 works just fine with DX11 and even tells you it's turned on. As soon as you select DX12 it just does not turn on at all. Yes, I have the latest drivers for my entire PC including the GPU. As I said, I am far from the only one experiencing this issue.

Yes I noticed that Auto HDR for games screws up the DX12 version of the game, and then you don’t get native HDR. I think Auto HDR breaks other things too, like performance.

When I turned off «Auto HDR for games» and left only normal HDR and HDR for movies enabled, it fixed my issues with DX12 version and it runs much better and looks much better. After turning Auto HDR off, normal HDR worked again, and it looks amazing with the new DX12 features

I wonder how well tuned the HDR is in this game. Even with auto HDR in DX11 mode it was overall washed out and too dark. Highlights did not pop like they should.
