The latest update for Windows 11 removes the technological barrier of 1000 Hz for image refresh rates. This change paves the way for the full utilization of upcoming next-generation monitors that exceed the previous limits of fluidity offered by gaming panels.
Response to 1040 Hz Monitors
The introduced modifications are a direct response to the dynamic development of hardware, which we could observe, among other places, during the recent CES trade show. It was there that the first panels were presented, including designs from Samsung, offering refresh rates of 1040 Hz. Until now, the Windows system was unable to natively support such high values, which constituted a system limitation for the fastest matrices available on the market. The new builds numbered 26100.8106 and 26200.8106 (KB5079387) introduce the necessary changes in the code, allowing for smooth image rendering at a record frequency.

Availability in the Release Preview Channel
New features have now reached the Release Preview channel for versions 24H2 and 25H2. This means that after the testing phase is complete, the solution will be made available to all users of stable releases of Windows 11 as part of the standard system update. In addition to unlocking refresh rate limits, the update KB5079387 focuses on the stability of the system kernel in terms of compatibility with the most powerful graphics processors, preparing the ecosystem for upcoming hardware releases.
