Windows decides on its own which games get Auto HDR, and the per-game switch is buried three
clicks deep in Settings, one game at a time, with no list of what you have already configured.
ForceAutoHDR.Net puts every configured game in one window and drives both registry mechanisms
from there: the per-app Auto HDR preference and the Force override.
Games are discovered from Game Bar's game list, from the preferences already on the machine and
from what is rendering right now, rather than by enumerating store libraries, because
launcher-fronted games render from a different executable than the one the store starts.
Everything it touches lives under HKCU, so it never asks for elevation.
