I just cant figure out which drivers win 10 has over written, and since then, ive had to do a clean install last week, and i'd love to get my 4K back up and running again, running at the same Hz it was before (66 hz)


So I know it works. I just need your help to Force it to work again, if you wouldn't mind please?


"An HDMI Cable, that is tested against the version 1.4 High Speed testing specification (10.2Gbps), will support 4K content @ 30Hz . However, 4K support beyond 50Hz (typically at 60Hz in advanced 4K UHD TVs) can only be supported using an 18Gbps capable HDMI cable (or a v2.0 HDMI)."

I'm not using HDMI 1.4 like you think i am, my 4K monitor is not set to that. its set to HDMI 2.0 and I'm using my HDMI 2.0 port. I dont have a 1.4 port. And I can clearly see my 4K external Monitor is pushing out 66Hz, and is capable of 80hz (which was confirmed by AOC U2879VF manufactures today when I called them)

The monitor and cable are not the problem. The problem is either your laptop doesn't support HDMI 2.0, or the graphics driver doesn't think your laptop supports HDMI 2.0. CRU can't force the driver to support HDMI 2.0. If your laptop actually supports HDMI 2.0, then you need to find the correct driver for your laptop. Have you tried the latest Intel and NVIDIA drivers?

You didn't list what Intel CPU you have, but I think this is the correct driver:

You should also install the latest NVIDIA driver:

Oh gee, i repeat

MY LAPTOP DOES SUPPORT HDMI 2.0...

i did say what my graphics card is, intel HD graphics 4600, and its using the latest driver.

My computer is up to date, im not like the other 99% of PC users out there who dont know what their computer does, or alike...

Im a Microsoft Certified Engineer, who passed his A+ Cert 2 decades ago.. so compared to the users here, im a power use of a PC.

even MSI has confirmed.

The only thing I can put it down to is your software doesnt work on my computer. as it will not add any more resolutions to the drop down and i asked for help on how to do it correctly since there isnt any set of instructions to follow
