Leave it in HDR next time. As someone who owns an HDR monitor and a phone with an HDR display, there is simply not enough content out there outside of movies and games.

Why are you apologizing?
Edit: the hivemind has spoken. You must always repent for posting washed out HDR video.
They work at Disney +.
Its not immune from removal via knife
Noted. Do not buy used laptops with microslop cancer button.
A shame because they're all still good hardware. Just don't want to deal with the cursed button.
Yeah I've bought my last couple laptops from my company's asset disposal department, I've gotten pretty good deals and usually just need to replace the battery after a few years. Not looking forward to when their stock starts getting into the models with slop buttons.

just point out to microsoft that the icon looks like goatse and they'll remap it like that
Why would you buy this garbage?
It is shocking difficult to buy a new laptop without one. Yes, I know about Framework, System 76, etc, but go to your local big box store and every laptop is covered in either Microsoft logos or Apple logos.

Everything is remapable if you are good enough at soldering
An embarrassing new low, even with the bars they've already set. And fitting, for this being the (egregiously multiply-) branded button to launch the shit show. Christ, this has been a fucking carnival lmao.
Microslop has now regressed to implementing "features" very closely resembling - in sophistication and effect - my own bumbling, desperate, ignorant attempts at similar ("making a button behave like a macro"), using AutoHotKey, somewhere between 15-20 years ago.
And do I understand that they both shipped that, on hardware, AND it's broken so badly it can't be easily remedied?
I don't know what to say. It's like all the geniuses of comedy who died too young are doing this, all of it.
(No shade whatsoever to AHK, it was, probably still is, awesome at its job!)
Edit: suddenly realized it's just on purpose, probably. Anyway, rant remains lol
I remaped it to screenshot on hyprland
I was able to remap it with Autohotkey on Windows.
Yeah, I used PowerToys and it's now Right Control again. It was probably easier than finding drivers for Linux.
My laptop had UEFI update that fixed the key-up thing and mentioned it allows holding the key in the changelog. So make sure to check for updates if you care
