Every time I'm about to play an HDR game, I have to go into Settings to look for HDR and turn it ON. Then, turn it OFF after I'm done playing. Is there a way to get a quickly accessible HDR toggle? Either a clickable shortcut or a toggle in the notification area would be great.
I heard Win+Alt+B works but it doesn't for me because I'm using an Apple Magic Keyboard on Windows 11 with a third party driver.

A couple of script files should do this for you. One to turn on HDR, one to turn it off. I'm tagging @Try3 since he is good with scripts. I'm not sure if using an Apple Magic Keyboard will make a difference though.

Yeah, I found out you need to have the Xbox Game Bar installed in order for Win+Alt+B shortcut to work.

I just made this script using "Automatic Mouse and Keyboard" software. It works for me but I'm using a 1080p display with 150% scale so your mileage may vary.

Win+Alt+B works, but in your keyboard it doesn't.
In Magic Keyboard, it should command+option+B.
