Issue with Dell display and Peripheral Manager while connected to Mac Mini

Every single time I install it it works for bit, then displays the following error message, once you click OK it stops working. I cannot find anywhere that file might be? Plus as you are not saving manually the system appears to go it its impossible to change the name, weird and frustrating! I'm using a Dell P2724DEB monitor on my new Mac mini

did you enable permissions to access those features?

NOTE: DDPM requires Accessibility and Automation permission for the Easy Arrange and Easy Memory to open the documents, resize and arrange them to the selected layout. When prompted by OS, click OK to allow access.

If you have a webcam connected, allow DDPM to access the camera when prompted. Update webcam firmware requires Automation to access the downloaded firmware package and Input Monitoring for the updating tool to update the firmware.

You can also enable these permissions from Privacy and Security under System Settings.

yes done most of those but just allowed system events under automation, so that might help

that Dell P2724DEB appears to be a 2560 by 1440 display at 8 bits/color, and up to 60 Hz refers rate

display interfaces include:

USB-C at 5 Gbits/sec** supplying up to 90 Watts power **(this is more likely 10 Gbit/sec for display data)

HDMI 1.4

DisplayPort 1.4

The Mac does not support the daisy-chain feature, except for Genuine ThunderBolt-3 and higher displays.

You will have to explain this a bit more, the monitor is fully compatible with a Mac mini and everything works well except not sleeping when it should which when it works, this is what the DDPM app does.
