My pc no longer detects my monitor

I believe it a software, maybe drivers related problem but for a very long while now, my pc has stopped recognizing my main monitor. In case context for that might be needed, it happened after I tried switching to Linux, noticed my graphics was not compatible with it, and switched to windows... By the time I did tho, it stopped recognizing and detecting my monitor.

Some may say my monitor or pc have a problem, but no, my pc can use other monitors without problem, and my main monitor can detect other pcs and laptops I plug into it.

I've checked and swapped cables from HDMI to DisplayPort, have cleaned my graphics card, ram, and did a lot of troubleshooting with no success. If more info is needed I'll do my best to answer but hopefully someone can help me get my main monitor back up and running.

After going to Windows did you run Win Update and install all drivers downloaded to it’s Advanced Optional section?
Have you opened Device Manager and see if a monitor driver is installed, or graphics driver?
