Windows 11 is entering a new phase of display support, and the headline number is as wild as it sounds: refresh rates above 1,000 Hz. Microsoft’s March 26, 2026 preview update, KB5079391, adds support for monitors that can report refresh rates higher than 1,000 Hz, a change aimed squarely at the...
