I'm using the proprietary NVIDIA driver with a GTX 1650 on a Lenovo laptop. I have a 1080p Samsung monitor plugged in via HDMI into my laptop.
System settings recognizes the monitor, but I can't enable it. When selecting the "Enable" checkmark and clicking "Apply" I get the following error in the terminal:
kf.coreaddons: "Could not load plugin from kcm_kscreen: The shared library was not found."
And nothing happens with the monitor.
How can I enable the second monitor and fix this issue? Thanks.

I'm running KDE and as soon as I bring up the "display configuration" screen I see that exact error. I thought that was the issue I was having on my laptop + external monitor setup - making the external monitor primary never survived a reboot. But I just re-installed Arch from scratch - my previous issue with making the external monitor primary past a reboot is no longer a problem. But I still see that same exact error (kf.coreaddons) when I go into the display configuration screen - but as far as I can tell its not an issue. Certainly not the issue I was having. Not sure this helps you or anyone else but wanted to throw it out there...

Seth, I already had the latest kscreen installed...

It is what provides kcm_kscreen so if that error message implies that it's kcm_kscreen that cannot load a further plugin, there's probably some context?
There's https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=277442 so this seems common and because of https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2469684 unlikely to be "downstream" (quelle surprise…)
If there's no context, we can create some:
strace -f kcmshell5 kcm_kscreen > /tmp/kscreen.strace 2>&1
Upload that file (1st link below)
