Hello,
I suffered similar issue 2 times recently (acer monitor not recognized on HDMI).
It was working, then I switched some USB devices and the monitor went off.
It was very hard to wake it up but I did, finally.
I cannot tell you if this will work, but probably I did something as: unplug USB-C/HDMI adapter,
close the computer (screen) to make it sleep,
plug the adapter,
open the computer.
Screen was recognized but I won't try again to make sure that the above works. :)
Regards
