ACR - all Non-adaptive profiles set to "auto" frequently produce blue artifacts

Windows 11 laptop – latest Photoshop and Camera Raw versions (rolling back three versions did not resolve the issue).

I open Nikon NRW files produced by a Nikon P1100. The problem began roughly a week ago. I have been using the same profiles for years without encountering this issue.

The behavior occurs with some, but not all, RAW files. When I select Adobe Color, Adobe Standard, or Adobe Vivid and apply Auto, parts of the subject develop blue artifacts. In the attached example, the artifact appears on part of a bird. In other cases, the entire bird may turn blue. Sometimes the artifacts appear along small tree branches or outlines of foliage.

The artifacts are always blue.

Notably, this issue does not occur when using the Adaptive Color profile.

Troubleshooting performed:

• In Photoshop → Edit → Preferences → Performance, I disabled “Use Graphics Processor.” This did not resolve the issue.

• I toggled between the Photos and Web UI design workspace settings.

• I rolled back several versions of Photoshop/Camera Raw. The issue persists.

Has anyone encountered similar behavior or found a solution?
