Windows No Longer Detects my External Monitors

For the past year, I have connected two external monitors, a keyboard, mouse and speakers to my laptop through a docking station. I ran Windows Defender for the first time this morning following the update to Windows 10 version 1083. I left my apartment
while Windows Defender performed a full scan. When I returned, Windows no longer detected either external monitor through the docking station. The mouse, speakers and keyboard still work though. When I disconnected one of the monitors from the docking station
and connected the monitor directly into the laptop, Windows does detect that monitor.

Is this a Microsoft bug?
