LR Classic 14.1.1 overexposing Nikon RAW files

Since updating to LRC 14.1.1 Z6-3 .NEF files after import are showing +1 exposure, -49 highlights and + 10 shadow recovery baked in to every file and you have to go in and zero them manually, i.e. reset doesn't push them back to zero. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm about to go back a version to see if it cures the issue.

Thanks

Nikon Z cameras write camera setting to XMP, which LrC understands and honors. This has been the case since 2018, when the first model, Z 7 was introduced.

You can either set all camera settings to zero/neutral, or create a preset in Lrc to be applied automatically on import.

I believe I've sorted it as D lighting was on in the camera but I'm surprised it got carried over in the RAW file conversion! Going back to 14.1 had no effect.
