Main display goes black immediately after login

The problem:
Currently using 3 monitors, when at the login screen they are all on and working, however immediately upon logging in my main display goes black. When looking at display settings the display appears to be disabled. However re-enabling in display settings doesn’t turn it back on, and when I logout it turns back on and I can see the login box on all 3 screens.

What I’ve tried:
sudo pacman -Syyu

I’ve looked on the forum and the only thing I found the solution someone was told was to essentially make a new user and to delete the old one.

Update:
I made a new user and logged in and all my screens work. Main user still having issue.

if new user work, and main dont, delete the kscreen folder in your home:
/home/.local/share/kscreen
reboot

Thanks for the reply, I ended up needing to enable the display in the Nvidia X server settings and so far that seems to have resolved the issue. This is my first install not in a vm so it was a rookie mistake on my end. I still have no idea why it was working and just stopped, but I’m just glad I don’t have to nuke the install like I have many a time in vm’s lol.
