Windows 10: 3D Mode & a Broken screen

The screen of my laptop is shattered and broken, i have an external monitor, but then one day as i was snooping around the settings. I saw 3D mode and got curious, clicking it, the screen of the external monitor went completely blank, i haven't been able to do anything since then. I've trying to find ways to factory reset it or maybe reset the settings to default, but nothing works, because i simply can't see. Is there any way i can factory reset the laptop, like a little hole in the back of a phone as a last resort? I dont know what to do, i am completely unable to turn 3D settings back off, because the screen of the external monitor is blank and jet black, as the screen of the laptop itself is completely broken.

VMWare VMs Black Screen - Windows 10 3D Accelerator - Graphic Properties not available

I am running Windows 10 Build 1803 build Citrix Desktops. I am trying to change the properties of the Windows 10 box so that I can turn off 3D Graphic properties as VMs are all in black screen mode. So, based on the suggestions by most of them, it looks
like we have to turn off the 3D Hardware acceleration. When I right click on the desktop, I get only Display Settings and Personalize option and if I go into Display settings, i do not get to see the options for 3D graphic acceleration as mentioned in the
below steps As, I do not see Graphic properties at all.

So, how can I turn it off or what else can be done as these are Citrix Desktops that are showing black screen. So, either you have to boot them serveral times or shut down and bring it up and sometimes they come up to the logon screen and show the windows
screen or else they are black screen. Clicking on CTRL+ALT+DEL also has issues sometime it brings up the logon window or else none. Just plain black screen.

In order to disable 3D hardware acceleration, I suggest you to follow the steps below.

1. Right click on the desktop and select Graphics properties.
2. Select Basic Mode and hit OK.
3. Go to the 3D option.
4. You can disable 3D graphics acceleration from this screen.
