Why do you need HDR enabled on your desktop, may be another question you want to ask, this only if it's causing you problems of course.
Well if everything's working correctly you'd want the desktop itself to stay close to the sdr values but have applications that are HDR capable to make use of it. Otherwise you're limited to full screen apps making use of it.
My monitor (Acer XV275K P3) has a better MiniLED local dimming algorithm in HDR mode than in SDR, so even SDR content looks better that way. Also it's annoying having to switch it back and forth, it's way easier to just leave it in HDR mode and not worry about it.
