Problem:
When I lock my screen using the OS key + L shortcut while connected to an external display via HDMI, I can't get the display to show up again afterwards. The screen remains blank no matter what I do.
What I've tried:
Disconnecting the HDMI cable, Disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable
Waiting for an extended period
Current workaround:
The only solution I've found is to force restart the system, which is inconvenient and disruptive to my workflow. System details:
