Bug Description
When I connect the external monitor the image is shown on the external display but it freezes (on both displays); after I unplug the external display the following errors are logged (not sure it is related to the freeze):
Jul 5 09:19:39 xps gnome-shell[10252]: meta_display_
Jul 5 09:19:39 xps gnome-shell[10252]: meta_monitor_
Jul 5 09:19:39 xps gnome-shell[10252]: meta_workspace_
The external display is connected via a thunderbolt port and an adapter to HDMI.

Thanks for the bug report. This sounds like bug 1976204 so please try disabling the Desktop Icons NG extension in the Extensions app (sudo apt install gnome-shell- extension- prefs).
