Microsoft has added a dynamic refresh rate function in Windows 11

In Windows 10, Microsoft has added a refresh rate adjustment function, mainly because some displays already support a higher refresh rate to provide better performance.

Especially for gamers, a higher refresh rate can better improve the user experience. Of course, a higher refresh rate means more power consumption and may reduce battery life.

Therefore, Microsoft has added a dynamic refresh rate in Windows 11, which can automatically adjust the refresh rate to improve performance when needed and use a low refresh rate at ordinary times.

The following apps support Dynamic refresh rate on Windows 11:

• Smoother inking: Microsoft Office, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Whiteboard, Microsoft Photos, Snip & Sketch, Drawboard PDF, Microsoft Sticky Notes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft To Do, Inkodo
• Smoother scrolling: Microsoft Office

If you have the following hardware running Windows 11 Insider build, you can enjoy this new DRR feature:

• To use DRR, you’ll need a laptop with a display that supports Variable refresh rate (VRR) and a refresh rate of at least 120 Hz.
• Additionally, DRR requires a graphics driver (WDDM 3.0) that supports it (available through Windows Update). We’re working with our graphics display partners to bring updated graphics drivers that support DRR to the Windows Insiders Program. Therefore, some people might need to wait a little longer to use DRR.
