Maximize Compatibility for HDR keeps turning on, on it's own, even when not checked

The option to maximize compatiblity for HDR photos (jxl and avif as far as I have tried) keeps turning on on its own, even when the option is unchecked. I sometimes have to check and uncheck it for the photos that are exported to not have this option (I checked the output files multiple times). I don't exactly know when it's unchecked and when it's checked just from the menu, and it's hard to tell when it switches.

Hi @fabian_0171, welcome to the community!

Could you share a few more details, like which version of Lightroom Classic you're using? That’ll help us get a better sense of what might be going on.

As a first step, it might be worth trying a reset of Lightroom Classic preferences. Here’s how you can do that: https://adobe.ly/45pWGFb

Thanks so much, and looking forward to helping you out!
