Windows 10: Revert Display Adapter Settings?

Hello All,

As I am now working from home the next month or so I connected additional monitors to my work laptop so I'd have more screens.

Everything was fine except the one screen was overfilled. When I changed the aspect ratio for this one monitor within the Windows "display settings" all the screens began to flicker and the laptop rebooted.

Now everytime I connect this 1 monitor, all the screens flicker and the laptop reboots. The kicker is I can't go into the advanced display settings for this 1 monitor and change the resolution back to the defaults unless that monitor is connected.

Anyone know of another way I can change the display settings on one monitor or maybe default all the display settings in general without the monitor being connected?

Thanks.

I appreciate in any case your help
