Second monitor not working
My Acer monitor which is plugged into my Razer Blade 15 laptop is now not being detected in Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS after installing an nvidia driver (sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall) I have no idea if this is how to update drivers. It is not detecting it at all when I go to Settings > Devices > Displays. It still works just fine in Windows 10. Is it as simple as uninstalling? I have tried sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa -y && sudo apt updatebut still don't have any luck. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Personally I usexrandr(a CLI tool) whenever I need to query or do anything with displays/monitors. In particular, if you just runxrandrwithout any arguments you will get some plain text output that you could post into your Question
