Printing indd to composite grey PDF: 100% black turns 92%

I want to print (or export) a coloured indd to a grayscale PDF (InDesign 2022). In the print/output window I set the output color to Composite Grey. The black objets and text must be remain 100% black. But in the produced PDF all black objets become K 92%  - why? I have already tried all settings, switches and pipes... 

This problem appeared some weeks ago, and the two other PC near mine do it well. Some idea?

If you are Exporting to a Gray Destination Profile, set your Appearance of Black Exporting Preference to Output All Blacks as Rich Black

Reset the Appearance of Black settings in your prefs to Output All Blacks as Rich Black:

 

Because rich blacks are darker than 100%K grayscale devices reserve solid black output for rich blacks. Changing the prefs solves that and has no effect on color output.
