White Menu Bar issue with Dual Monitors

When I connect an external monitor to the MacBook and indicate it as the main one, the menu bar turns white. This happens only when the external monitor is primary and active.

The problem has been with the release of the macOS Mojave.

This problem is not solved!

External monitor shows part of the window only and black elsewhere Sometimes when I connect my external monitor with my laptop with HDMI cable, I see the external screen becoming black. The top bar is still visible and if I swipe up the applications, I can see the applications. How do I debug this? I have attached the relevant images. If I restart the mac, it works perfectly. It is not possible to restart whenever this issue happens.

Lost External Display Menu Bar After Update to MacOS 12.5 Updated my 2017 20.5 inch iMac to MacOS 12.5 yesterday. Now my external AOC 4K monitor no longer displays the menu bar. Have tried deleting the com.apple.windowserver.plist without change. The external monitor is driven by a thunderbolt to displayport cable. Unplugging and replugging the cable had no effect. Windows moved from my iMac to the external monitor are still linked to the menubar on the iMac. Previously the menubar on the external monitor reflected that of the active application on that monitor. Anybody else have this problem?

External Monitor Issues after installing Big Sur I have an external AOC monitor connected to my 2015 MacBook Pro via USB 3.0. Ever since I installed Big Sur, the monitor no longer functions. It attempts to boot up for 1 sec at start up then goes black. I've seen multiple instances of others having the same issue. When will this be fixed? I have to use dual monitors for my job and I didn't backup prior to the update so I'm worried about using time machine to go back to my pre-Big Sur system until this is fixed.
