Lightroom Classic adding a yellow cast to photos when I click to edit

Hi there. Please forgive me if there is a solution to this issue that I've somehow missed. I've tried Googling this several times and have searched on here a couple of times as well.

I'm on a new PC running Windows 11 (I don't recommend, btw). My monitor is a new Dell (entire system purchased in March of this year). I'm running the latest update of LrC, 14.0.1.

When I import photos into Lightroom Classic, they appear normal in the library thumbnails, as well as when I open them to develop/edit them. As soon as I click ~any~ adjustment slider, a yellow cast is added to the image. When I export it, the cast remains. Yes, I can easily adjust the white balance, but this is an added step for hundreds of photos at a time. As I haven't been able to find a solution to this issue, I'm wondering if it's unique to me? 
If anyone has a possible solution to this issue, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Can you place an example photo in the cloud, perhaps at Dropbox, then share a link to that in a reply. This so other members can take a look at the image on their rig.

 

You may want to include a .XMP file with that if you would like members to view the photo with your edits.

Here's one of many files that have behaved this way.

I recognize that the image itself is pretty yellow to begin with, but you'll see from the screenshots below that it becomes even MORE yellow.


Here are before opening in the develop module and after opening in the develop module. These are just screen shots of what I'm seeing. 

 

I googled a bunch, but couldn't figure out how to share an .xmp file.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post. Also large amounts of text in a post also render the Translate function inoperable...

This is most likely a buggy GPU driver or a defective monitor profile.

First of all, update the GPU driver, go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest version.

 

If that doesn't fix the issue, try setting the monitor profile to sRGB (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor).

Close LrC as well as any other color managed software, press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter.

Add the sRGB profile and set it as default.

If this fixes the issue, you should calibrate the monitor with a hardware calibrator, which will also create and install a custom monitor profile that will be more accurate than sRGB.

 

Also note that Dell is notorious for making low quality monitor profiles, they are often defective out of the box, and are installed with Windows updates. Since you have Dell computer, it could also be Dell software doing the same thing.

I'll definitely try the recommendations you've provided. I'd seen something similar in my searches, but the issues described by the original posters didn't seem to match what has been happening with my computer. But I'll give it a go.
Also, my computer isn't a Dell. It's a custom build (not built by me), with a Dell monitor.

Thank you for your help!
