Apple Thunderbolt Display won't wake up unless I unplug LG display first.
Hi - I have two monitors:
1) 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display
2) 27" LG UltraFine Display 5K
Whenever I wake my 2016 MacBook Pro, my LG display wakes up fine, but my Apple Thunderbolt Display does not. Black screen.
BUT - if I unplug the LG's cable to the Macbook, THEN the Apple Display wakes up - then I plug the LG back in and all screens are now active.
As a secondary impact, doing this also causes my computer to "forget" the arrangement of the screens so like a game of musical chairs, my apps and wallpapers all move to different displays (sometimes the apps are even hidden - with only the smallest upper left corner of the app appearing in the bottom right of the display. Very annoying.
So multiple times a day I have to go through this routine of unplugging the LG and re-arranging and sizing all my app windows.
It's been over a year that I've been quietly dealing with this and I really wish there was something I could do to fix it.
I can't be the only person going through this. Has anyone solved it?
I've checked and all my firmware and software is up to date.
