Hello, I hope you're doing well. I am having a serious issue that's been going on for months where I have two monitors connected to my M1 mini. The main monitor turns on fine but the second one doesn't turn on after reboot or shutdown, I have to manually remove the USB C plug and replug it again for my M1 mini to detect it. Any solutions?
Got a tip for us?

Macbook Not Detecting Second Display Until I Replug it

I have the same exact computer as you. 50% of the time I have to unplug and plug back in the USB C plug to get the second monitor to work after starting the computer. There are some occasions where it does work at boot time. Apple could easily release a workaround to this by adding an option under displays in system preferences to detect another monitor. Another problem I have is my USBC monitor occasionally loses connection for a few seconds and the screen goes blank.
