Windows 10: My duplicate screen settings disappeared from my display settings on Windows 11

Hello, I was trying to connect my laptop to a TV through HDMI. I do not know what I did but my screen turned black when I plugged in the cable but it would not show on the TV. Also, I tried unplugging it and changing my display settings to duplicate, but then my duplicate screen settings option disappeared. I want it back where it was in the first place. Can anyone help me, please?

Changing display setting from duplicated to extended

So I connected my Lenovo ideapad Y700 to my HTC Vive but wanted to change the display setting from duplicated to extended.(When changing display settings i need to click on keep changes before 13 seconds or the action will reset) However, when i click
on extended the page disappears and i cant go back to it to confirm only when the 13 seconds are done and screen is back to duplicated.
