Odyssey G8 G85SB - Keeps going into Game Mode

I have a 34" Odyssey G8 G85SB display that I'm using with 2 computers.  The first computer is a M2 MacMini connected to the USB-C/PD port, and the second is an HP Elitebook connected to the microHDMI port.

I have set the Game Mode to both Off and Auto.  I do not game.  I just use the monitor for office-type work.  However, Game Mode keeps getting enabled.  When that happens, the other USB-C port switches to High Resolution.  I have a USB hub connected to that port that I use to power a light bar, charge my iPad, and connect my web cam.  When it switches to High Resolution, it often will not power any devices.  So, I have go back and turn Game Mode off and switch USB-C to High Speed.

I've also noticed that sometimes just the USB-C setting gets switched to High Resolution while the Game Mode will remain off.  In that case, I still have issues with devices connected to the USB-C hub on the other USB-C port.

Is there something I have to do to keep Game Mode off and for USB-C to remain High-Speed?

Out of curiosity, what is the benefit of having the other USB-C port (not the one with 65W Power Delivery) set to High Resolution?  Can another device be connected to this port for video?

Thanks!
