    Resolution setting grayed out and refresh rate missing options


    Laptop come with 4k 120Hz sceeen, now stuck with 4k and 60Hz.Tried:Uninstall windows updatesUpdates windowsUpdate Graphic driver for both intel and invidia cardReinstall driversrepairs in cmdHardware diagnosticreset graphic settingsI believe this happened after I connected to another monitor and set that monitor as the primary display then disconnected the monitor, not sure if that is the causation.List all display modes shows 4k 60Hz as the only option.

    :)

    Where are the resolution/refresh rate settings in AMD Crimson?

    Having to use Windows display settings manager to change resolution. Advanced display settings shows the resolution but to change refresh rate i have to go to display adapter properties!

    It's just a longer step than it being right there one click away in CCC. Not only that but CCC is still there in Crimson if you use the advanced settings.

  3. How to set default refresh rate

    I've no control in the resolutions dropdown, and of course I can select the exact mode I want from List all modes.

    But what I'm trying to accomplish is for Windows to recognize 60hz as the default refresh rate when changing resolutions (when I'm not specifying the refresh rate).

    That comes in handy when running applications (mostly games) which let you select resolutions but not refresh rates. And yes, those applications do support the resolution/60hz combination I want for them.

    So that's why this thread is titled "How to set a default refresh rate". If it's no possible, then so be it. But I could swear that before the Windows Creator's update, changing resolutions didn't lower my refresh rate.

    How to set default refresh rate

    Both. When I'm in 1920x1080x60hz and change to 3840x2160, Windows sets the refresh rate to 30hz. When I'm in 3840x2160x60hz and change to 1920x1080 Windows sets the rate to 30hz.

    I've uploaded two screenshots. They list the relevant modes:
