Issue with screen brightness in preview mode

Hope anyone can help me out with this. Last week, I updated to the latest version of Windows OBS 29.0.2. In this version, when I select "Fullscreen projector (Preview)" and project the scenes, the screen's brightness suddenly turn very dark. The weird thing: When I right-click my mouse during this projector mode, without doing anything else, the screen's brightness turns back to normal. But of course it then shows the drop-down menu from right clicking my mouse. When I do a left-click the drop-down menu dissapears but the screen turns very dark again.

Unable to find the issue I went as far as completely deleting OBS (including all the historic scenes & settings) and re-installing everything. It still has the same issue. I also checked other programs, such as YouTube, but they work OK on this PC. However, when I installed OBS on a different Windows PC and tried the fullscreen projector mode it worked fine. So it seems to be an issue of a combination of this PC and OBS.

We're using OBS as part of a small store experience, projecting a live camera feed from our upper floor kitchen and alternating these camera scenes with brand content scenes. Looking very cool! :-) But currently not so much, because of the drop-down menu.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Issue persists with most recent version 31.0.0 using a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. When full screen projecting to the laptop screen, the screen will dip down brightness like you're describing. This issue does not happen when using an external monitor.
