[PC] Can't change refresh rate

When I select the option to play with a 1920x1080 100Hz resolution instead of a 60Hz the screen flashes constantly until the timer expires and it is reverted back to 60Hz. Why is this happening? How ...

    @Carbonic I found a fix! I launched NVIDIA GeForce Experience and clicked on "Re-install drivers". Then, I clicked on "Custom Installation" and clicked on the "Clean Install" option. Once it was done, I restarted my PC and then I re-applied my custom 100Hz setting in the NVIDIA control panel and all my other settings and I launched the game. Fortunately it worked! I now have 100Hz on fullscreen.

@Carbonic First of all, thanks for replying. Second of all, I changed my refresh rate through the NVIDIA control panel and not windows. About the "PROFSAVE_profile_synced", that was a huge wall of text but the only thing I could find in there was key bindings. Do you by any chance mean the settings file named "PROFSAVE_profile" ? That's were I found my video settings. I manually changed the refresh rate to 100Hz but when I launched the game it gave me the following error :

DirectX function

"screen->m_swapChain->ResizeTarget (&screen->m_outputMode)"

failed with E_Fail ("Attempted to create a device with the debug layer enabled and the layer is not installed").

GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M", Driver: 37557

What could this mean? Why does it accept 100Hz in borderless but not in fullscreen?

Ah yes, wrong file name, but yes I've set my refreshrate in PROFSAVE_profile like this :

GstRender.FullscreenRefreshRate 143.856003

and it works. Not that it matters since I like being able to tab out of the game without it minimizing the game and thus run the game in Borderless mode.

Borderless is just a windowed version of the game without the borders of a window and made to take up the entire screen, thus it uses the same refresh rate you have when operating Windows, like writing in Word or whatever.

I don't know why BF1 is not picking up your overclocked monitor settings in fullscreen and why it's making errors when you set the hertz manually, all I can tell you is that Borderless is an excellent workaround.
