[Solved] Fullscreen turns off external monitor

Hello everybody, I'm reqqia and I'm new to the forum!
I came up yesterday with this issue: when I turn an app to fullscreen, mi external monitor turns off and it doesn't turn on again.
My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6, with hybrid graphics and Gnome desktop environment.
I tried to use another arch installation, which i didn't update in a month or so, and there's no problem there, so I guess it's not an hardware compatibility problem.
I also tried to run the lts kernel, but the problem is still there.
I thought of an nvidia drivers problem, but i use it with PRIME and for the rest the laptop uses the integrated AMD graphics.
I'm not sure on how to gain log information about fullscreen mode, I would like to give you more informations.
Can you help me?

Thanks

Apparently, the issue is gone. My uefi clock was set bad, that's the only thing that changed in my system, I don't know if it's related to the issue. I'll mark the post as solved.
