Windows 10: When I change my Resolution it resets my hertz

Greetings from Australia.


I'm having a problem where when I change my resolution to stretched (1440x1920) it resets my hertz back to 60. But when on native (1920x1080) it's 144hz. I'm on windows 10 with a 144hz monitor.

Increasing Screen hertz automatically reduces resolution

Already done that but doesnt help.

Look what I Tried to do is as following:

my current settings:

What I tried to change it to:

after I apply, it appears to the windows that it is on 1600x900 @85 hertz, but obviously the resolution is lower, so I check the monitor information, it says 1440x900 @85 hertz

if I change the resolution to any other resolution, and then increase the hertz (anything above 60), it always changes the resolution to 1440x900.

ok, well this is a bit weird problem I am facing.

I used to use windows 8.1, and in windows 8.1 I used to increase my screen hertz to 85 on resolution 1600x900 with no problem.

but now in windows 10, the resolution automatically decreases to 1440x900 85hertz from 1600x900 60 hertz, I tried it on any other resolution, and hertz. Just if I change the hertz from the default of 60 under any resolution, it forces the resolution of 1440x900,
it happened only in windows 10 and never happened in windows 8 or 8.1 :/

If someone can tell me how to fix this would be appreciated.
