I lost the output for a monitor

Hello to all
I comment that I have video card:
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] (rev a1).
And I use the AUR nvidia driver because the noveau driver randomly crashes my PC a few times a day.
I usually do an update every day with YAY , and today, two things happened:
1st Flagged Out Of Date AUR Packages: nvidia-470xx-dkms nvidia-470xx-utils
2º Of the two monitors I have, the one with HDMI output works, but the one with VGA that worked until before the update, now stays in Stabd by without video. 
Archlinux detects only one monitor.

Can you help me?

You probably lost the nvidia GPU because of that (and with it the output) and either run on an IGP or the simpledrm device.

In doubt please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
