    As the title says. I am setting refresh rate to 60 Hz in the intel graphics properties control panel, and it seems to reset to 40 Hz. I'm not sure when the reset occurs but I think it is when I power it off.

    Why's this happening? How to fix?

    A simple update of Intel Display driver fixes this. Check out for the updated display driver either on intel website or dell drivers download page.
