Originally created by @GavinHaak on GitHub (Nov 27, 2019).

This issue applies where the user has a monitor with a refresh rate greater than 60hz.

If the Terminal window is selected, the refresh rate drops back to 60hz across the users desktop regardless of the users selected refresh rate (i.e 120hz).

Tested on Windows 10 Pro, OS Build 18362.476, Terminal Release 7.

Why was this closed? This is still very much a problem.
