In order to restore the monitors to "extend" I manually detached and re-attached the hdmi cable of the second monitor. I was confident that it could work, given that I verified to have installed the updates that you linked me previously.
1. The session crashed with the sad monitor picture: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." and I only could log out (which killed all the running apps). 2. After re-logging on the monitor positions were inverted 3. A soon as I opened the display window to fix the monitor positions, they reverted to the correct position automatically (I didn´t have to make any change) You may be interested in the attched screenshot which also show a "ghost" monitor which does not exist. I have three monitors but the third is currently detached from weeks to better make diagnostics about this weird issue.

They are both configured at 3840x2160, scale 150%, fractional scaling: yes. After a period of inactivity, the screens get blanked as configured. When I move the mouse and the screens unblank, sometimes (not always) the configuration is changed by mirroring the same content on the two displays. Anyway, the display are still configured as extended in the applet. Trying to change some settings to restore the desired configuration never work. I have to unbplug and re-plug the second monitor. But sometimes, after unplugging and replugging the secondary monitor, the session crashes, all the apps are terminated and I get just the logon screen. In other words, gnome is not able to manage reliably the blank/unblank cycle in a multi-monitor configuration. I also tried with the AMD built-in graphics card and the behavior is exactly the same. Therefore I don´t think that the NVidia driver has anything to do with it.
