Feature Request: Add a system-wide HDR toggle (like OneXConsole)

Rather than relying strictly on per-game Auto HDR hooks, could we get a simple system-wide HDR toggle in the overlay/quick settings (similar to how OneXConsole handles it)?
A lot of titles—especially games with intermediate launchers like Cyberpunk on GOG—fail to register HDR when it’s triggered at launch because the game checks display capabilities before the handshake completes.
Having a manual quick toggle right in Winhanced would let us flip HDR on before even launching the game or client, completely bypassing these launcher timing issues.

Edit: adding the hdr toggle as a controller remap option is a good idea too

Intel Gamer Days promotion verification issue when CPU is a sealed gift

I’ve been going back and forth with support for over a week regarding a promotional bundle (Tomb Raider / Star Wars) for Intel Gamer Days and have hit a wall.
**The Situation:**
• I purchased an Intel CPU (i5-14400F) through Newegg as a surprise gift for my nephew’s first PC build.
• Because it is a brand-new gift, the box is sealed. I cannot break the seal and install it into a rig just to run the Intel Hardware Verification Tool.
• To satisfy the hardware scan requirement, I attempted to run the tool on qualifying Intel systems I actively use and own (an i9-14900K desktop and an Intel G3 Arc Extreme device).
• The system flagged a duplicate/mismatch due to the scan device not matching the specific purchase receipt, leading to verification denials on my ticket.
• In the meantime, the original Master Key that threw a REF003 error now states that game keys are temporarily "out of stock," and the replacement key process is stalled due to the device scan lock.
**What I Have Provided:**
• Legitimate retailer purchase invoices/receipts.
• Verification that I own and use multiple qualifying Intel CPUs.
I specifically went with Intel over the AMD alternative for this gift because of this promotional bundle. I really don't want to have to return the sealed processor over an automated verification barrier when all purchases are legitimate.
Is there a community rep or support escalation path that can review this manually to help clear the duplicate hardware flag or fulfill the bundle?
Any guidance or Intel rep escalation would be hugely appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I’m dealing with a frustrating situation and could really use some advice.

Dell contacted me about a recall for my Alienware (AW2527Q) because of black screen issues and arranged to send me a replacement. I gave them all my information and they confirmed it was shipped.

The issue is the Purolator tracking shows the package as delivered, but I never received anything. I’ve checked around my place and with neighbors and there’s no sign of it.

What’s making this worse is I’ve been told I need to return my original monitor by May 12. I’m not comfortable sending it back when I don’t even have the replacement yet, especially since this whole process was started by Dell.

Right now I’m basically stuck. The replacement is marked as delivered but missing, the return deadline is getting close, and I don’t want to end up without a monitor because of a shipping issue that wasn’t my fault.

I’ve already reached out but haven’t gotten a answer yet but im still worried.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Should I be pushing Dell to send another replacement right away or to extend the return deadline? Not sure what the right move is here but I don’t want this to drag out.

Appreciate any help. This has been a headache😂😂
