I'm currently using a random off-brand 1280x1024 TV as my monitor, eventually i just tried resetting CRU with the reset-all.exe and restarting my graphics driver, now i dont exactly remember if it happened exactly after i did that since i fiddled around a lot of settings, but my monitor became a generic non-PnP panel in device manager, so i looked up this thread and searched if any other person have had this problem which thankfully there was. And so i did the fix which was basically exporting an .inf file and installing it. which worked fine as now my monitor is recognized by device manager, but the higher resolution option than my display's maximum resolution and the valorant not recognizing my monitor's resolution still persists. Is there anything i could do to just factory reset my monitor/tv's EDID back before i used CRU? or maybe a custom EDID that i can use? I know this was probably caused by my negligence of not understanding it properly before using it but any help would be appreciated. Thank you if you read the whole thing and apologies if its too long.

CRU does not modify the monitor's EDID. It only creates software overrides, and running reset-all.exe removes all overrides. "Non-PnP" means the graphics driver couldn't read a valid EDID from the monitor. Try unplugging the monitor's power for a few minutes. If that doesn't help, try reinstalling the graphics driver after using DDU: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driv...aller-ddu-

If the problem persists after using DDU, then the problem is either the monitor's EDID is corrupted, which can happen with older monitors, or the cable is not allowing the EDID to pass through, which can happen with cables that are missing the DDC pins. CRU can't override a monitor without an EDID with older Intel GPUs.
