Bug Description
New bug for me. Issue was fine till last week. I think this may be related to the following as it started happening shortly thereafter.
I have XPS13 with second monitor, all working fine till I lock screen or suspend. Then my second monitor will not 'resume'. I.e. stays off.
This behaviour started after (or shortly after) playing a wine game using Lutris to launch. Shutting game down and almost immediately hitting suspend on the laptop. Was rushing out.
It's a wild shot in the dark but I think something got messed up / not saved correctly in this process.
To get it working I need to unplug monitor (using USB-C > HDMI) > suspend > plug in monitor > resume and sometimes still need to open display settings before it 'kicks in'. Damn annoying. Hope someone can help :)

Problems with locking the screen (and gnome-shell then crashing) lately have mostly been bug 1877774, which you don't seem to have the fix for... To get the fix please try:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
Reboot
and then verify your gnome-shell package is at least version 3.36.3.
