hi there! i have a strange situation. i have 2 monitors (2K resolution). after loading the OS on the main monitor i got a black desktop with disappeared icons, and i can’t do anything on it (except the system panel), but on the second monitor i can do everything. once i change the monitors priority everything becomes ok.
i attach the link to a video with this behavior.
i would appreciate a hint on how to fix it.

PS yes, i have and i like the gray background color 
More information than Plasma listed should better help us help you. In Konsole, please run command inxi -GSaz
and paste results here using the preformatted text wrapper </> button above the input window. I too have 630 graphics, and have seen no similar issue with 2 or 3 monitors:
$ /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 [8086:5912] (rev 04)
$
force update (reinstall) the graphics driver, usually helps me. Only intel no nvidia?

I don’t see any giveaways in inxi output, though N/A for Qt version seems odd. Did anything change after upgrading to 20250617?
Does a mouse pointer or window moved to the black screen make it disappear? If not, wallpaper might simply be missing for that display, and you should be able to select one.
If you Ctrl-Alt-F4
to leave X, then return with Alt-F2
, Alt-F7
, or whichever Alt-Fx
gets you back into X, does anything change?
If you swap cables between the two monitors and set primary as desired, does either screen remain black?
If you run a Wayland session instead of X11, does the problem remain? What if you open an IceWM session instead of Plasma? If in IceWM both display as expected, it may be worth trying disabling autostart of KScreen in the background, and restarting Plasma session as another troubleshooting step.
If you run inxi -Gxxx
, do the two displays’ serial numbers differ?
The most interesting thing is that the problem disappeared when I simply swapped the input cables between the monitors and the monitors themselves. 
I didn’t do anything with the software or settings on my PC. I don’t know what it was)
but huge tnx for help and advises!
