NVIDIA Drivers - X Server Settings - Only Shows PRIME Profil

I've just installed ZorinOS and the Nvidia drivers worked out of the box but I just upgraded the packages using the Software Manager and I ended up with a non-bootable OS. The only way I could login was to do a `apt purge nvidia-*` and reinstall them using `sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall` and now when I'm opening X Sever Settings every settings is gone except for the PRIME PROFILES section. Also running glxinfo doesn't use Nvidia but the integrated intel GPU.


Code:
$ glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)


Code:
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 450.57
