Im trying to reinstall the drivers now!
So, do You want inform the People here or do You need Help for this?
If You want Help:
Make sure, that Your System runs in Xorg for the Nvidia Usage. To check that, go to Settings>About and look if there stands Wayland or X11. If there stands Wayland, switch to X11/Xorg.
To do that, go to the Login Screen (not the Lock Screen). Simply reboot foor that. On the Login Screen click on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. It has to be appeared. when it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right Corner. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.
Then the Nvidia Drivers. Type in the Terminal:
sudo apt purge nvidia*
That will uninstall the Drivers. After that:
sudo apt autoremove
That will delete the file Rest of the Uninstallation. But please take a Look at the List of the Files what will be deleted before You delete them. And then install the Driver:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-[Version-Number] nvidia-dkms-[Version-Number]
For the Version Number set in the Driver Version that You use. 550 for Example. Then it would be:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550 nvidia-dkms-550

To avoid needing to reinstall Nvidia drivers if the Kernel Upgrades, using DKMS may solve some headaches:
sudo apt install nvidia-dkms-550

I added that to my Comment. Will that dkms Package not be installed automatically with the Driver?
No, not automatically without specifying the DKMS package. Just the driver.
