I am seeing the same problem on a Dell Precision 7750.

Ubuntu 20.04LTS
kernel: 5.11.0-27-generic #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP

graphics: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU106GLM [Quadro RTX 
3000 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)
plus Intel i915
processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz

With nvidia-prime installed, running nvidia-settings presents three options:
NVIDIA (Performance Mode), NVIDIA On-Demand, Power Save
In Performance Mode, only the external HDMI port is active.  Booting with no 
external monitor produces a blank laptop LCD display, but the external monitor 
is active.  Using System Settings / Display, only the external monitor is 
detected.  The keyboard secondary function key Fn F8 has no effect.  Laptop 
screen is blank if booted without an external monitor connected.

In On-Demand mode, only the laptop display is active and the external
monitor has no output.  System Settings / Display detects both monitors.
The Fn F8 key pops up a display mode selection tool to select how the
screens will be configured, if the external-monitor-only mode is
selected, the laptop screen is blank, and there is no display on the
external monitor.  All other selections have no effect.

In Power Save mode, only the laptop display is active and the external
monitor has no output. System Settings / Display detects only the laptop
monitor.  The keyboard secondary function key Fn F8 has no effect.
