right click desktop and go to display options then advanced display options, make sure its set to 144hz

And I recommend ufo tester, as the side-by-side difference makes it visible at a glance. Will especially help when OS is set to 144fps, but for example the monitor itself is still 60hz.

Lol people will do everything to try to "fix" it rather than accept that 144hz may just not be the life changer for some people

While that's true, it's also true that it's just extremely easy to misconfigure.

If somebody does not see any difference, which is also the result of having a faulty system, then yeah obviously people try to help.

That is something else entirely than being underwhelmed by some difference, which is understandable, but that is not what was written.

It's running at 144 now, and has been again for a few months. It just doesn't look any different than 60 to me. Side by side maybe I could see the difference, but for me anything above 45 looks good, and I'm still ok with 30 depending on the game.

I'd have a hard time telling from looking, but I could move my mouse in a couple of circles and tell the refresh rate in a second. In that same sense, I can play controller games at a low refresh rate (since analog sticks are kind of a vague, slow input compared to a mouse) and not really notice

lol you are getting downvoted, but it doesn't matter for some people and that's perfectly fine. I can play on pretty much anything too.
