Ever since updating last week, one of my two monitors (connected through a CalDigit USB-C dock) won't turn back on after inactivity.
I have to open up System Settings, change the resolution for the monitor, and change it back every time I leave my macbook and come back.
- ethbr1 3y agoHave you tried a KVM switch? I have one in my setup and toggling it off and then back (via button) is a quicker way to solve freak-outs.
- Centigonal 3y agoI have a USB switch for my peripherals, but I haven't needed a KVM until now. That does sound convenient!

Not a circuitry issue, and there should be a command to reset USB/Peripherel reboots. Invoking a reconnect via CLI / cmd would be great.
- mleo 3y agoIf a resolution change fixes the issue, consider a short term fix of using displayplacer. It's a cli tool for updating resolution or placement of displays. I use it in combination with Stream Deck/Keyboard Maestro to toggle the resolution of second monitor during Teams screen sharing to provide a lower resolution for display challenged colleagues.
- acdha 3y agoHave you checked for firmware updates on the dock? I had a problem like that years ago where it basically turned out that the dock was doing something dodgy and an updated macOS stopped tolerating it, but fortunately they had a firmware update available which brought it into compliance.
