This is my first major issue using cosmic as my main DE, while using multiple monitors in settings i accidentally disabled my laptop display however when i go to enable my display the button automatically turns off again and only my second display is visible ive tried plugging off my second display, rebooting and even re-installing cosmic but nothing works cosmic does not enable my laptop display

If you unplug your second display, does the laptop display come back to live again?
Can you enable it with some other configuration tool? E.g. wdisplays? If so that would be a cosmic-settings bug, which would be great to figure out the underlying cause.
If that doesn't help, please try to enable it and post the output of journalctl --user _COMM=cosmic-comp.
If nothing works, you can reset the configuration by deleting .local/state/cosmic-comp/outputs.ron and logging out. If it worked previously, it should start working again after logging in.

I came back to this issue late otherwise i would have tried your suggestions i apologize one thing to note my laptop display would work fine when i plugged it into a separate monitor(different from the one mentioned above) as soon as i plugged it out or connected it to the original monitor it would go black, i was able to fix the configuration by logging into the gnome-session and deleting cosmic-comp as you mentioned.

I can confirm this bug on my laptop ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QM running Fedora 40 and cosmic-desktop 0.1.0~^20240814gitnone
