MC does not return to default display settings

Tried that too, but still don't fix :(

Hi lello,
I'm not much help on the AMD side of things. I've only got nvidia (or Intel iGPU). It looks like you have tried all the thing's I'd suggest (CRU, DDU in Safe mode etc).
I do see a similar thing on my 3090 where two identical screens are connected, one using HDMI via an AVR, and one directly over Display Port. The AVR connect screen works as expected with MC but not the screen over Display Port as it seems the EDID info over Display Port only shows refresh rates of 50/59/60 in the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" section and 30/60 under the "PC" section. The screen connected via the AVR shows for "Ultra HD" all the expected refresh rates and there is no 2160p listing at all in the "PC" section.
I had also tried to add a custom resolution to add the missing refresh rates as custom resolutions in the nvdia control panel for the Display Port Screen but with no luck (and then I gave up, I did not try CRU). I just play MC on the AVR Connected Screen. One thing I was considering (but I did not buy) is something like - https://hdfury.com/product/dr-hdmi-4k/ . I can not vouch for this particular product but I've used a DVI Detective previously to fix (and keep broadcasting) the desired EDID data (you could set it via switches or even record your own set from say an AVR and use that profile). There also used to be a way of overriding the EDID data in Windows but I can't find the thread (it was years ago on AVS or the like and may have only been for Intel GPUs).

Thanks for your intervention.
In the end I solved it by setting everything to 59.94 and now everything runs smoothly even with custom resolutions, and I can finally have the OSD within the active area. ;D
I've also reviewed the videos with JRVR's new ctrl + j, and it doesn't report any dropped / repeated frames. Only with 60hz videos (but I only have Gemini and some trailers), it signals me dropped frames but they are absolutely not noticeable to the eye.

A strange thing happens (at least for me).
I tried to solve the small problem of dropped frames with 60hz videos, setting only 60hz for these, even if 59.94, thinking it was the most correct thing.
I never did!
The screen went black and the PJ signaled me there was no signal so I tried to restart and turn off the htpc completely, to no avail.
Finally, to fix it, I moved the cable to the second hdmi output of the GPU, and restored a previous backup.
Can anyone explain to me what could have happened?

It sounds like the PJ does not support the timings used for 60fps (which is a bit odd, but they can be very finicky comparted to flat panels). I had a look at out of the ~7,500 video files that I have how many are "true" 60fps and it was only 10 and they all look like dodgy re-encodes to me. On this HTPC, I'd be leaving it at 59.94 unless you want to spend the time creating a custom 60hz res that the PJ will support.
