macOS Sequoia 15.3 wont let me detect my second display

Can anyone help??

I've just moved to macOS Sequoia 15.3

Now my second display (thunderbolt) which worked perfectly, about 2 hours ago is now dead and cant be detected. I've looked on line and it turns out it's a common problem. I wish I had just left the upgradfe.


IS there a fix?


Thank you

This has nothing to do with the displays, monitors,... in my opinion. I have been using the same setup with my old MacBook Pro and new MacBook Pro for about 5 years. Two external monitors - one display port / one HDMI. I have NEVER had an issue with the external displays coming online until upgrading to 15.3. It is always the HDMI display that does not come back after the system sleeps.


I have found that power cycling either the monitor (easier of course) or the laptop will bring all three back online and they will all remain fully functional until the next time it sleeps.
