I'm having trouble getting my z-Edge monitor to run at 180Hz on Windows, even though it supports that refresh rate. My system specs include an Intel i7-10510U CPU, NVIDIA Quadro P520 GPU, and 16GB of RAM. I've tried both the Nvidia Control Panel and the Windows display settings, but nothing seems to work. Additionally, I've noticed that my laptop is defaulting to integrated graphics, and I can't change that setting. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Another thing to consider is the resolution you're trying to run. 180Hz usually requires a lower resolution, like 1080p or 1440p. You might not be able to achieve it at 4K. Also, double-check your cable; make sure it's a high-speed HDMI 2.1 cable, as that can impact refresh rates too.
Make sure your Nvidia drivers are fully updated. Sometimes outdated drivers can limit your display options. If everything seems okay on that front, try restarting your laptop after making changes to see if that helps apply the new settings!
Have you checked what output port you're using? If it's connected via USB-C or HDMI, make sure it's using the dedicated GPU and not the integrated one. If it's tied to your integrated graphics, you might be locked out of some options.
I think it's using integrated graphics, but is there a way to switch that?
I'm using a 2.1 HDMI cable, but I’m set at 180Hz. Should I try adjusting the resolution?
