# ForceAutoHDR
ForceAutoHDR simplifies the process of adding games to the AutoHDR list in the Windows Registry, enabling HDR for games not officially supported. This tool offers a user-friendly GUI for enabling AutoHDR in unsupported games.
## Features
- **Easy to Use**: Add games to the AutoHDR list with a simple GUI.
- **Automatic Registry Management**: Automatically adds or removes game entries in the Registry.
- **Safe**: Does not make any connections to the Internet.
- **DXVK/VKD3D**: Works for games using Vulkan api wrappers.
## Usage
1. Ensure AutoHDR is enabled in Windows 11 settings.
2. Manually enable HDR by pressing `Win+Alt+B` in Windows 11.
3. Run your game.
4. To verify AutoHDR is working, open the Xbox Game Bar, navigate to the HDR Intensity Slider, and adjust it. If the brightness shifts while adjusting the slider, AutoHDR is functioning.
5. For automatic HDR toggling for any process/game, consider using [PyAutoActions](https://github.com/7gxycn08/PyAutoActions/).
6. For permenantly setting CPU Priority/IO Priority/Memory Priority via registry consider using [PrioritySetter](https://github.com/7gxycn08/PrioritySetter/).
## Windows 11 24H2 Overblown Colors Workaround
