Set SDR Content Brightness (when HDR is enabled)

[Frugivore]

I have a hotkey I would love but is well beyond my knowledge to write. I got a new monitor that is having a funny HDR issue (windows being windows) that I can't quite figure out. But, the temporary solution is to reset the SDR brightness which is a slider (system, display, HDR, SDR content brightness). Is there a way to do this as a hotkey? you don't have to have it set as a different brightness just click the same brightness again (50 in my case). Thanks for any help.

I don't know whether it works in your situation.

This way has annoyances of its own but it at least saves me some time. You will have to make 2 scripts, one for making it brighter, and one for dimmer. Just change "Right" to "Left" for the dimmer version. Personally, I like to go from 30 on my dim setting to 100 for my bright, so this script assumes that your current slider position is starting at 30 or 100.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
