VibranceGUI manually reseting my monitor refresh rate down

[akej111]

Currently having an issue with Valorant

Steps that happen

1. Open up Valorant (full screen, non-native res), everything working as expected
2. Alt-tab out of the game
3. Monitor's refresh rate gets set down to 60 hz instead of the original 165
4. Open windows settings, change back to 165hz, works for a second in the preview and click confirm changes.
5. After changes gets confirmed, screen goes black again, and monitor is back to 60 hz

The same happens if I try to change the refresh rate via Nvidia control panel too. The strange thing is Valorant runs at the original 165hz if I tab back in. But once I tab out or close the game, it's hard stuck at 60 until I tab back into Valorant, or restart my computer and manually set the refresh rate back.

I found this reddit thread where a user also had a similar issue, and when I disabled my VibranceGUI I was finally able to change the refresh rate without it getting reset. I suspect this has to do with the fact that my resolution is changing when I go into Valorant and come out (1440p native to 1080 ingame) as I hadn't run into this issue until I changed res's (although were times where I can tab out just fine)

Running a i7-8700 and a 1060, with latest drivers from Nvidia

I would like to report the same problem.

My main monitor is 144 hz and, with VibranceGUI opened, it restarts my nvidia configuration to 60 hz, no matter how many times I change it.

I'm using latest Nvidia drivers nowadays and VibranceGUI 2.3.1.1.

Does this also happen when you select the "Never change resolutions" checkbox?

edit:
Do you both have two monitors? And possibly have your Windows "main monitor" (as in the one that Windows thinks is your main monitor, not what you use as your main monitor) setting screwed up?

Little late but I have the same problem.

I'm using just 1 monitor.

@sgraewe @DavidCorral94 @akej111 can you check if this is still happening on the most recent vibranceGUI version and if yes, please make sure to verify if enabling the Never change resolutions checkbox helps
