Windows 10: System changes resolution by itself while i am changing the monitor rate

When I try to change my monitor rate to 144HZ my system changes screen resolution to 1680x1050.But my screen usually is 1920x1080 144HZ. But now when I open the list of resolution there is only 1920x1080 60HZ, how can I change it back to 144HZ?

Unable to change the Display Resolution/Aspect Ratio on 2nd monitor.

Hello Alfredo, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I understand that you are unable to change the resolution of the second monitor;

What exactly is the model and manufacturer of your graphics card?

Before answering the above question I suggest you try to decrease the monitor's refresh rate;

When lowering the refresh rate check if the resolution of the second monitor can be changed;

See you soon!

 

Refresh rate is reset whenever the desktop resolution is changed

Greetings for Norway

I've been a having a problem regarding resolution changes in Windows 10 Pro. I'm using a 1920x1080 @ 120Hz monitor. I'm also using two nVidia GeForce GTX 970s in SLI configuration. I've noticed that whenever I change the resolution in Windows my refresh
rate is always reset to 60Hz even though I've manually set it to 120Hz many times before. I've tried changing resolution by using nVidia Control Panel, in which case the refresh rate stays the same (at 120Hz) after the resolution change. This led me to believe
this might happen only when the change in resolution is handled by the OS, as I did not have this problem in Windows 7.

This is especially irritating when trying to use the nVidia Dynamic Super Resolution function in games which do not let me manually adjust the game's refresh rate. Everytime I turn on this supersampling-function the monitor resets it's refresh rate. This also
happens whenever I start up a fullscreen application that is not configured to run at native resolution. This makes me unable to use my monitors optimal refresh rate.

I was wondering if there is a solution to this problem. If not, is it possible to fix it in an upcoming update?

Thanks

 

I'm not able to change refresh rate in my Windows 11!

Thank you very much for reaching out! As an Independent Advisor and fellow Microsoft user, I'm more than happy to assist you.

I've provided the steps to increase the refresh rate below. Please try them and let me know if you need any further assistance. Regarding potential drawbacks, higher refresh rates can slightly increase the load on your GPU and system since your GPU will be working to generate more frames per second. This might lead to FPS instabilities in games or applications. However, I do recommend utilizing the higher refresh rate for a smoother experience. If you encounter FPS lag spikes in-game, you can always lower the refresh rate to see if the performance improves.

1. Right-click on an empty space on your desktop and select "NVIDIA Control Panel" from the context menu.
   
2. In the NVIDIA Control Panel, under the "Display" section, click on "Change resolution".
   
3. In the "Change resolution" window, you should see your monitor listed. If you have multiple monitors connected, make sure to select the one you want to change the refresh rate for.
   
4. Next to the "Refresh rate" dropdown, click on it and select the desired refresh rate, which in your case should be 144Hz.
   
5. Click "Apply" to save the changes.
   
6. Windows may prompt you to keep the new settings. Click "Keep changes" to confirm
