It can only be a driver bug, but I haven't seen this particular bug before. It seems similar to an old bug that was triggered when GeForce Experience loads, but having the extension block should have worked around that.

Instead of deleting the extension block, leave everything and delete 3840x2160 from the detailed resolutions and from the data blocks in this guide: https://www.monitortests.com/blog/guide-...4096x2160/

Yes, but it's scaled down to the native resolution by the monitor.

Try rebooting instead of running restart64.exe. If it won't boot properly, then it's a driver bug. Try installing 471.11.

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
I am trying to get this to work for streaming the desktop using NVidia Gamestream.

Assuming I configure 4k and HDR correctly, how to make sure that moonlight on the client side is reproducing it correctly? This might depend on the client used. The Shield TV for example caps 3440 X 1440 at 50HZ. Even if my monitor and GPU can reach 100HZ. So what is the best client device and the best client software to use to get max performance?

Also, is there a way to quickly switch between different settings? Like if I connect from the TV in the living room then it should be 4k and the one on the bedroom should be 1080p.

I tried to just remove the resolutions (thanks for the guide). Same problem.

That old bug you speak of, what were the details? Because it sure seems like the bug happens only when Windows starts.

What I've found:
If I run restart64, everything is fine. After a reboot, they come back.
If I choose "update driver" from the device manager and choose exactly the one already installed, it reinstalls it and everything is fine. After a reboot, they come back.
And they aren't clickable. Just rogue resolutions.

To me, it sounds like some bug triggers at the boot of the computer, no? Every action to reinitialize the driver seems to fix it every time without fail.

I am using GeForce experience, using gamestream via it. The card is a RTX 2060.

The old bug was if a monitor has an extension block and it is deleted, added resolutions will appear in the Windows display settings but not the NVIDIA control panel, but you're doing the opposite and removing resolutions. CRU 1.3 and later also writes a blank extension block automatically in that case, so it shouldn't happen anymore. The bug triggers when GeForce Experience loads after you log in, or if you scan for new hardware in the device manager. This is 100% an NVIDIA issue and not anything with Windows.

I don't have any experience with this. Moonlight should be able to use any resolution that's available, and it supports up to 120 FPS. I don't know anything else beyond that.

I just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And also in case anyone else with the same problem sees this: it was GeForce experience the whole time. It causes the extra resolutions to show up at startup of the computer.

Solution: Either restart the driver in some way every time you boot the computer or just uninstall GFE. For me, it became the latter.

CRU is working fine now.

RE: Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)
I tried using this on my new monitor (HP V222vb) and it seemed to work fine going from 60->70hz. However now I notice that windows now calls the monitor "wired display" instead of "HP V222vb" even after restarting and putting everything back to original settings. I'm concerned I may have screwed something up, has anyone seen this happen before, should I be worried?

Windows should show whatever name is shown in CRU, but you have to make sure the name is showing in the detailed resolutions list. If you add resolutions and it pushes the name off the list, then Windows won't show a name. Nothing you do in CRU should be permanent since it doesn't modify the monitor.
