Inconsistent behaviour on an entry level MSI monitor.

The app is great feature wise but in my experience It was too inconsistent.
- Monitor: MSI MAG-244f -> https://www.msi.com/Monitor/MAG-244F
- OS : Windows 11 25H2
- Platform: Gigabyte B850 D3hp
- CPU: Ryzen 7500f
- GPU: RTX 5060 8gb
On SDR mode :
The brightness level is in sync with the slider occasionally then it gets stuck regardless of what the slider reports , it may return in sync after a while but the issue repeats . I have ensured that monitor settings were on user display mode and tried different configurations in the app with no help.

On HDR mode :
The SDR slider works for the general brightness flawlessly while the top one seems to not do anything . The only issue is that the brightness baseline is so high which is not sustainable for me but that's a matter of preference .

Thoughts :
- I tried to check what could cause the issue even with gemini but to no result .
- Experience with other SOFTWARE : The only app that works is [ Win10_BrightnessSlider -> https://github.com/blackholeearth/Win10_BrightnessSlider ] though it has much less features and requires me to click twice or thrice for the brightness level to match but its consistent in that .
