Okay so after trying everything to fix this issue your comment made me try that one thing that I didn't try because I never thought this would be the issue. What I did:
Unplugged and replugged the monitor into the same port, no change, still washed out.
Unplugged and replugged the monitor in a different display port, and HDR finally works for the first time in months.
Plugged it back into the original port, the game crashed. Opened it again, HDR still works.
This is so stupid but can you guys also try and see if this works for you?
Already deleted the game and not re-downloading it to try this. Plus Not going to unplug and plug in my monitors every single time I play this game. That's just stupid. Even if it works for a play session that's not worth it at all. Fix the game dice. Like you should of 4 months ago. Now that's a simple fix.

As i mentioned before (earlyer in this topic).
You need to make sure that HDR is supported.
Multiple Monitor setup , Monitor brand / Specs should (if possible) be the same, color depth , same type cable for connection to the gpu.(only HDMI or Only DP ect) ect ect ect
There are a lot of topics at the internet about this issue , some issues are caused by Windows 10 / 11 it self , some related to Display driver !.
Also multiple screen/display setups could cause issues, different refresh rates, different resolutions , diferent color depts , HDR / SDR ect ect ect.
Also meke sure youre monitor is installed in device manager , ya use the correct color profiles ect ect ect.
Monitor settings could also cause some issues , if 1 monitor is in Gaming mode while the other is in Standing mode for example !!!! <<-- Check itSome software / game need to be HDR enabled in windows first , while other software / games HDR can be enabled in the Game it self !!!
Ya realy need to hunt down Monitor specs / settings ect ect ect
Rollback a drive isnt / cant be done that easy, example -> check nvidia additional information.
For nvidia to rollback a driver version, ya should uninstall Nvidia in windows by using SETTINGS / APPS and delete nvidia driver (make sure ya pre downloaded new driver already).Hope you guys got the answer / fix , just check internet for it !

If so, then why is it that this issue only happened after 4.2.0?
It cant just be coincidence that all of us suddenly had added additional monitors or updated our drivers after the update.
This issue was known to have happened after the update. I had the same setup before the update and HDR was working well. I did not update drivers nor tweaked any other additional settings. The only thing that had changed was the version of BF2042.
