I think the key is the overriding of the EDID in this case from my limited knowledge on the subject. NVIDIA Quadro cards allow you to manually override the EDID pretty easily via the GUI but users with GeForce cards have been looking for a solution and I've seen CRU mentioned countless times for fixes to this problem I've been having.

EDID overrides do nothing when the monitor is not connected. CRU does not emulate monitors. Quadro has a feature that can emulate a monitor even if it's not connected.

It might not be called simulated, but there should be some entries that start with MS.

Add a detailed resolutions data block.

Just adding my findings here incase someone else stumbles across this.

I kept messing with this a lot more and I also cannot get CRU to fix this issue (as expected once you let me know it wouldn't, I just wanted to give it a try still!

Since it doesn't simulate or emulate monitors that aren't connected, the ovverrides don't do anything when the monitor eventually goes into sleep mode again.

I DO have a moniotor that starts with "MS" in the registry where you mentioned, but its resolution was already also set to 5120x1440 for PrimSurfSize cx and cy , so no luck there.

Adding the DetailedID extension block setup didn't change anything here for me either in the long run.

Not looking for more help, just documenting what I found for others incase they come here looking later.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.
