That worked. I plugged it in and walked away for a bit and when I came back, the laptop screen was released and I was able to access the Display Configuration GUI to change the settings for the external monitor. It was already at 60 Hz (with no option to increase) and the HDR setting was disabled. I turned down the color bit rate and a few other bits that I'm afraid I didn't track, and the external monitor started working. It tentatively seems to work happily now regardless of settings EXCEPT that if I enable HDR it reverts to the behavior that caused me to submit this bug. That is odd since it appeared to be disabled to start with, but very acceptable. In all I now appear to have a functioning system. I defer to you the expert as to how to resolve this report. The initial behavior is not desirable given the long period of frozen screen, but it ultimately works.
