Windows 10: Why are different refresh rate monitors still broken?

I have 2 monitors, one is at 74hz and the other at 60hz. The first time I set them up they worked perfectly as they are supposed to.

After a reboot however, the 74hz monitor just starts stuttering like crazy and looks to be slower than even 60hz. Ufotest confirms this.

I tried reinstalling my driver's and the monitors worked again until the next reboot.

I've tried all the GPU scaling tips I've seen across the internet and nothing seems to work and at this point I turn off my secondary monitor whenever I'm gaming which defeats the purpose of a secondary monitor.

Microsoft please fix this it can't be that hard to fix and it's been a problem for so long from the looks of it.

Refresh rate Problem

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Screen refresh rate is the rate at which the data displayed on screen is refreshed; it may be an image or some text document. Most of the users would like to set it to a higher rate but this also depends on the capacity of graphic
card and monitors. If the refresh rate is slow, the images on the display looks as flickering to the user eye and makes it uncomfortable to work.

Nowadays the latest monitors available in market will have minimum 60 Hz of refresh rate and it is very good option to set it to 70 Hz if you your monitor is compatible. Normally a high performance or quality monitors can reach
120 Hz of refresh rate. So I would suggest you to set your monitor refresh rate as higher as possible, below given steps describes how to access this feature on your Windows 8.1/10 PC.

• The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
• If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
• Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.

I would, as of now, suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest display and chipset drivers available for the latest operating system (currently it would be 8.1 in the list).

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

 

Monitor refresh rate

Hi Maypher

My name is Dayarys I am an independent advisor I will try to help you. Please follow the steps below :

Click on the Windows logo corner and Open Settings (gear icon).

Click on System.

Click on Display.

Click the Advanced display settings link.

Click the Display adapter properties for Display 1

Click the Monitor tab.

Under "Monitor Settings," use the drop-down menu to select the refresh rate you wish.

If you already did that like you showing, keep in mind that the refresh rates you can select will always depend on the monitor, graphics adapter, and resolution your device is using.

Your monitor show the 144hz and 60hz option but doest mean that it works at an intermediate rate.

You can try to update your graphic card by your laptop manufacturer model or change your resolution, but if you don't have the option no one configuration or software can change it. Sorry to give you bad news.

Regards Dayarys

 

How do I delete or disable a specific monitor refresh rate ?

Hello Cyntil,

We realize your requirement in this regard.

Generally, you can only adjust the refresh rate of your monitor on Windows 10. The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings
that your monitor supports. If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged. Changes
to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.

Sadly, we don't have an option to delete or disable this feature on Windows 10, instead you can change it to different value. To get started,

• Right-click on Start and select Control Panel.
  
• Click Appearance and Personalization, and then click Display.
• On the left pane, click Adjust resolution. Then click
  Advanced settings.
• Click the Monitor tab, and then click the screen refresh rate that you want to use.
  

Keep posted if you require further assistance.

Thank you.
