I'm using Windows 11 on my laptop, which supports both 144Hz and 60Hz refresh rates. The issue I'm facing is that when I unplug my laptop, it automatically switches to 60Hz, and vice versa when plugged in, it goes back to 144Hz. This causes my screen to go blank for a second each time it changes, which is really annoying. I want to lock my refresh rate to 60Hz permanently, regardless of whether it's plugged in or not. I've tried changing this in the display settings under advanced display options, but the setting only seems to stick for one session. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?

If you uninstalled Armoury Crate to save RAM, it might be a good idea to install it again. There may be specific settings within that app related to the refresh rates and power management that you can adjust. I’d suggest looking for any ‘performance’ or ‘power’ tabs once you reinstall it.
If it's a gaming laptop, it might be switching to integrated graphics when on battery, which could affect your refresh rate. You can try going into the BIOS settings and see if there's an option to force the discrete GPU to be on all the time. This might help in maintaining your display settings without the refresh rate jumping around.
It sounds like your laptop might have some software that overrides your settings when plugging in or unplugging. Many brands provide their own apps that manage performance settings. For example, Asus has Armoury Crate, MSI has Dragon Center, and Lenovo uses Vantage. It could be worth looking if there's an app like that for your laptop, as it might control the refresh rate behavior you're experiencing. You may also want to check your power settings in Windows.
