External Display Issues Since Upgrading to macOS Tahoe


Since upgrading to macOS Tahoe, I’ve been experiencing issues when connecting my MacBook Pro to a Dell P2723DE external display using the correct USB-C cable.


The external display regularly freezes every few minutes, typically after the system has been idle for a short period. When this happens, the screen becomes unresponsive and only refreshes after I unplug and reconnect the display.


This setup worked perfectly prior to upgrading to Tahoe, so the issue appears to be OS-related. Any suggestions or potential fixes would be greatly appreciated.
