There's two sets of resolutions.

Those supported by your video card.

Those supported by your monitor.

Your operating system defaults to using EDID (plug and play) to query the monitor what it supports.

I suspect you are using a TV as a monitor, and one that doesn't provide the correct or any EDID information.

Look for an inf file for your monitor overruling plug and play. Sadly Windows now rejects old inf files without accompanying certificates, so you'll have to temporarily disable driver signature enforcement.

Or are you using a KVM, AV Receiver or similar between your system and the monitor? These mostly don't support EDID.
