Have you tried with any of the remastering options enabled?

Follow-up question -- did you try restarting the game as well, or generally tweak the HDR settings? Because everything seems to work fine in my testing after a restart of the game:

I always restart the game after making any changes.

Having tested this with K-SILENT v1.0 on Discord, I'm clueless as to what might be causing this. I believe however I've seen multiple users over the last couple of months report that SK's HDR retrofit cause a black screen in some games and on some systems, but it's really random. For K-SILENT this game has the issue on Win11, meanwhile I don't experience it at all on Win11.

For other games I've heard some experiences an issue only on Win10, and for others only on Win11...

Driver issue perhaps? Something else that differs between the systems?

I'll leave this ticket open to allow us to track it and possibly gather more data of affected games and OSes.

Fixed.

TLDR: Unity does not like you messing with backbuffers. Used the following and managed to get HDR working again with no black screens. Used the following config and it worked (rename to ini)
