Unity fresh Scene is too dark

Question

When creating a new scene with the HDR Template, the scene is completely dark compared to the sample scene.

Sample Scene:

New Scene:

even when adding the example assets to the new scene the scene is too dark:

Game View and Scene View look almost the same in this case aswell.

So i guess before dealing with any more hdr lighting stuff i should look into volumes, reflector probes and light probe groups.

Hope i could help you with that future unity game developer who stumbled upon the same issue.
