Windows 10: Cursor is 60hz, everything else is 144hz

This randomly happens when i alt tab out of fullscreen applications.



Info:

• It stops happening when i drag on the desktop/drag any other application, but it instantly goes back to 60hz when i release.
• It cant be the mouse, since i tested it and its 1000hz.
• It cant be the monitor since everything else draws in 144hz except the cursor.
• It has to be Windows 10's fault since I've never experienced this on Linux
• It fixes when i change it to another refresh rate and change it back.
• Windows Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.815)

video of the bug (Notice as soon as i hold down my mouse button, it goes to 144hz)

144hz and 60hz Stuttering Issues

I can pretty much guarantee that the issue is the difference in frequency between the 2 panels, it can either do one frame rate or the other, not both, the stutters are one screen running at 60Hz, thus locking the desktop and any full screen applications to 60fps too, which means that your laptop's panel is running at 60fps while being capable of running at 144Hz, which causes eye burning stutters.

 

144hz behaves like a 60hz when any of my other 60hz monitors are running GPU bound applications.

Hello there.

I noticed, after upgrading to Windows 10, that the handling of "windowed borderless" and such is much different in comparison to Windows 7. I believe the Desktop Composition is to blame, but that is well known problem (forced vsync etc.)

What I get is a bit more specific. When I use a GPU bound (game, hardware accelerated browser) application on my 60hz monitor, every single GPU bound application on my 144hz becomes 60hz.

FPS is still shown in the real numbers (certian apps/games 200+) but the actual refresh rate is 60hz. When one enables Vsync, it caps at 60, even though the refresh rate is setup in drivers and windows to be 144hz.

When the application is run standalone on the main monitor (144hz), there are no problems. But even Chrome, when the HW accel is not OFF, forces the 144hz to 60hz.

I'd just like Microsoft to look at the "non-average" PC user and make their OS optimized in every way possible. I have a high-end system and I can't enjoy my 144hz unless I use it exclusively. Considering it is current year I'd very much like to see some
love for more-than-one monitor setups and for people that don't have a Pentium from 2004.

My setup: GTX 1070; i7 6700k; DDR4 16GB.
