Dynamic Refresh Rate Switcher – Task Scheduler Setup

This setup allows you to dynamically switch your monitor's refresh rate using Windows Task Scheduler and PowerShell.

📁 Setup Instructions

1. Place Files

   • Copy both QRes.exe and SetRefreshRate.ps1 into your C:\ directory.

2. Import Scheduled Tasks

   • Open Task Scheduler.
   • Import both provided .xml task files.
   • Ensure the tasks are set to run under your user account.

3. Customize Refresh Rates (Optional)

   • Open SetRefreshRate.ps1 in a text editor.
   • Modify the lines containing R:144 and R:60 to your desired refresh rates.
   • Example:

     -ArgumentList "/R:x"  # Change x to desired rate

   • The first value (by default:144) is for when your monitor is plugged in, and the second one (by default:60) is for when it's unplugged.

⚠️ Notes

• The QRes.exe file comes from this site: https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html, download it directly from there if you wish
• Make sure PowerShell scripts are allowed to run on your system. You may need to set the execution policy:

  Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
