Issue/Bug Description:
Installing Operating System Updates from Pop!_Shop breaks graphics.
I have been running Pop OS on my laptop for around a year, while occasionally installing all updates from the Pop!_Shop. After doing it today and rebooting the system the laptop's built-in display stayed black after the MSI logo. Even Ctrl+Alt+F5 did not bring anything to the screen. After connecting an external display the login screen appeared on that display. I could log in and see the desktop, but the resolution and scaling were really weird. I could also notice a lot of visual UI bugs like elements appearing only after moving the mouse over them etc. I checked the display setting and the built-in display for the laptop was turned off and had a ridiculously large resolution (something like 15000x8000). After changing the resolution back to normal I was able to make the built-in screen work, but only while an external monitor was plugged in. By Cycling different settings and Super+P I was able to make some of the screens work, but never all of them. In all of the configurations, the weird scaling, resolution, and UI bugs persisted. I also wasn't ever able to make the laptop screen work while no external monitors are plugged in. I also tried changing between all of the Nvidia drivers available on Pop!_Shop without any luck. After that, I proceeded to reinstall Pop_OS! From Scratch. With a clean install, everything was working correctly like before, but after running all updates on that instance everything broke the same way again.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Pop! OS on MSI MS-16Q4
- Click Update All in Pop!_Shop
- Reboot
Expected behavior:
Graphics stay working after updates
Other Notes:
System: MSI MS-16Q4, i7 8750H, RTX 2070 Mobile, 16GB RAM
