Can’t get specific games to launch after accidentally messing with image scaling in Nvidia app win 11

Open | Software

Help. Accidentally clicked image scaling for one game and it made my monitor flash black and now all my RE games won’t launch??

I’m kind of at a loss and doing ddu right now. I downloaded resident evil 1 and remembered it was only in 1080p I believe so I went to Nvidia app and added it not knowing exactly what image scaling did. I wanted to upscale it. Never even hit accept and set it back to off (default) and my oled flashed black as if I changed resolution. Right after that none of my recent RE games worked. Every other game I have does still. I reset control panel and global settings, tried changing tvs native resolution to different ones and nothing worked. Re7 was the only one to boot and work but its default resolution was something boxcars like 4012x1700. I’m thinking whatever glitch happened is going on with the other resident evil games as they just immediately close now. Any ideas on how I can fix this? It’s a 3080 gpu and I play on a 4k 120hz lg oled with gsync.
