A simple Windows 11 shortcut has changed my view of PC HDR gaming: Win+Alt+B

I agree, the Win+Alt+B shortcut is a simple but game-changing feature for HDR gaming on Windows 11. It allows you to toggle HDR on and off on the fly, which is very convenient for games that don't support HDR or that have HDR issues.

For example, some games may have washed-out colors or other visual artifacts in HDR mode. With the Win+Alt+B shortcut, you can quickly disable HDR and switch back to SDR mode without having to quit the game and go into the settings.

The shortcut is also useful for saving battery life. HDR mode can consume more power, so if you're playing a game that doesn't support HDR or that has HDR issues, you can disable HDR to extend your battery life.

To use the Win+Alt+B shortcut, simply press the Windows key, Alt key, and B key at the same time. You should see a notification in the bottom right corner of the screen that says "HDR turned on" or "HDR turned off".

If the shortcut doesn't work, you can check to make sure that it's enabled in the Xbox Game Bar settings. To do this, press the Windows key and G key to open the Game Bar, then click the Settings icon (three dots) in the top right corner.

In the Settings menu, click the "Shortcuts" tab. Under the "HDR" section, make sure that the "Toggle HDR" shortcut is enabled. You can also change the shortcut to a different key combination if you prefer.

I'm glad to hear that the Win+Alt+B shortcut has changed your view of PC HDR gaming. It's a simple but very useful feature, and I hope more people start using it.
