AutoActions is an Open Source app that allows you to toggle HDR, create profiles for specific apps, change display settings, and more.

AutoActions allows you to create profiles that can perform specified actions like changing display settings, setting your default audio device, and launching a script or program. You can accomplish this via an easy process through the UI. It is broken down into the available sections; Status, profiles, apps displays, and settings. After creating a profile, AutoActions monitors it and will run the specified actions assigned to that profile.

AutoActions is relatively easy to set up, providing you with a timesaving option to assign specific actions to commonly used apps, etc.

Compatibility mode (Restart)
In some games, i.e., Cyberpunk 2077, you don't see any HDR options in settings when HDR was not enabled in Windows before the game was launched. Therefore, the application kills the process on the first occurrence, activates HDR, and restarts the process
