    Hi,

    In the display settings of Xbox , choose 10 bits in color range and in your TV setting set Black as normal.

    It could be something to do with your HDR if you have an xbox one x, go to xbox settings> General> tv & display options> video modes and disable *allow HDR10* then check out the screenshot. If that doesn't work i would go to https://beta.support.xbox.com/contact-us
    for more information to help you.

    Do you have HDR enabled by chance? We have seen some users experiencing issues with screenshots with HDR enabled, if you haven't tried, please disable that to see if there's a change.
