My External Monitor Stopped Working After Catalina Update

After I updated my Macbook Pro OS to the new macOS Catalina version 10.15.3, My external monitor is not being found. I plugged in my sisters new Macbook pro which she hasn't updated and it works fine.


Would anyone be able to figure out why this is happening?
