So here's my full situation.
According to Wikipedia, the Surface Pro 3 is capable of outputting 4K @ 60Hz if you're using the i5 or i7 version (I have the i5 version).
Here are my specs:

I have done a ton of research and spent literal hours on this, no matter what I do I cannot get it to work.
I tried using CRU, Intel Graphics Control Panel (can't get it anymore), Intel Graphics Control Center (available, but hangs on "refreshing", see below), I've followed every link I can to control refresh rate with Intel software for 4th gen Intel processors, and no luck. I tried using automatic installers, manually select drivers from .zips, nothing works.

CRU only partially works. New options appear, except for the FPS options above 30Hz.
Here's the rest of the hardware I'm working with:
I would love anyone's help if you're able!
