My 144hz monitor is stuck at 60hz.

I have a BenQ XL2430T 1080p 144hz monitor but it's stuck at 60hz. I have an RTX 2060 and I'm using an HDMI 2.0 cable. Windows and Nvidia control panels only say 60hz, and there is no option to change the refresh rate in the monitor settings.

 

My 144hz monitor is stuck at 60hz.

I've already done most of these things. I've updated my monitor drivers and my GPU drivers, I'm on the most recent Windows version. Though I should mention, that this is a hand me down from my father, who used this monitor and GPU at 120hz with an HDMI cable. The current resolution I'm running at is 1920x1080@60hz, but when I look at the "List All Modes" in advanced display properties, there is one listed for 1280x720@120hz. I did test it out by switching the resolution to 1280x720 and in the advanced display settings it did say 120hz, but I don't want to sacrifice quality for smoothness, as this monitor should support 1920x1080@144hz. I've tried using the Nvidia control panel "Create Custom Resolution" but no save option appears after I press test with 144hz selected.

 

Windows desktop cursor rectangle not 144hz

Hey! When I right click my mouse on my desktop and drag my mouse around the desktop, the blue rectangle that can be used to selected specific folders etc on the desktop is not 144hz. Everything else on my pc is working fine and runs 144hz and even when
I do the same thing in file explorer, it is 144hz and alot more smooth than when I do it on my desktop. What is causing this lag on the blue rectangle? very annoying. Please help!
