I have had this happen on 3 or 4 occasions now. I create a new serial node and add a power window to a blown out part of the image, and dial back the highlights. But instead of the image returning to a normal exposure, the blown out areas go gray -- a clear indication that for some reason it is not accessing the image data from the original clip. Anyhow, Im not sure what's going on, but I have only seen this in Resolve 14.3 when it happens, sometimes Im unable to get the power windows to work and cant grade the image the way I want.
Some other things I've noticed:
- After applying the power window, at first it will work correctly, then doing almost anything else, like clicking the keyframe button will cause the fixed exposure to go gray.
- After applying the power window, it will work correctly, and I will hit the loop and play button and Resolve will cache the clip for playback, and while caching the clip, the power window maintains the correct exposure. But as soon as its cached through one time, it will begin playback at the beginning of the clip and the power window will go gray again.
- I was able to get Resolve to fix itself once, only by restarting my computer. (Restarting Resolve alone did not fix it)
Here is an example of my starting point. Its a dark shot so I raised the highlights and mid-tones, now I created a power window to reduce the highlights on the TV display:

Here is an example of how the image could look, if dialing back the highlights on the power window worked correctly:
