So firstly some background: many PC games that support HDR already automatically switch on and off HDR when you launch/quit them.
But some don't. For games like Cyberpunk to Gears 5, you have to manually enable HDR in Windows settings before launching them, and then turn it off afterwards. A real pain, especially for couch PC gamers.
So why not just leave HDR switched on at all times? Because then you end up in a PS5 situation where everything that isn't designed for HDR is displayed with great inaccuracy and looks.. a bit crap tbh.
Welcome HDR-Profile.
This nifty free tool auto starts with Windows and sits quietly in the background and automatically enables HDR whenever it detects a specific process running, and then disables HDR when the process ends.
It's ridiculously easy to set up and add your games, and works flawlessly in my experience. Also for couch PC gamers like me it's a godsend.
