ImeModePersistence keeps the IME conversion mode consistent across windows and binds a chosen input language per application. Its flagship use case is keeping the Chinese IME controllable in games such as Helldivers 2. Autostart runs unelevated; use the tray's "Restart as administrator" for sessions that need to reach an elevated, anti-cheat-protected game.
