Ubuntu worked fine before Windows update on my SSD. Kernel settings reseted for some reason.I readjusted BIOS, I enabled PCI 1 instead of motherboard setting. 1 hdmi and 1 dvi cable is connected to GTX 970. I had 390.116 nvidia driver on Ubuntu. (But maybe I had an older driver and I updated it with sudo update before I used Windows, and that new update caused problems.)

What happends during the boot:

Second screen shows up during boot, I select Ubuntu on boot menu and then some boot stuff happen and then second screen gets disabled and first screen shows up instead, and i login and continue.

From Settings->Display recognizes only the first screen. Nvidia X Server Settings -> X Server Display Configuration -> Only the first screen is detected.

What I have tried:

By using tty --> I purged nvidia-* --> rebooted --> worked like charm! the problem is with nvidia drivers (And I need them for gpu accelerated processing stuff).

From Software & Updates --> Additional Drivers --> Couple of nvidia drivers show up (390,396,410,415,418) I purged and reinstalled 4 of them and none of them worked.

Can the problem related with GNOME?

I had the same problem in 2019 on my HP Omen laptop. After a pushed-windows update, my bios got updated. After that my ubuntu boot-up time increased and my second monitor was no longer being detected. The solution was to disable secure boot in the bios.
