Mac Mini (M1) dual display doesn't work.

I'm enjoying my Mac mini with the M1 soc but unfortunately connecting two monitors does not work. Upon fresh boot, both monitors display correctly on login screen. However, when logging in, both monitors start flickering (see video). I have to disconnect and reconnect one hdmi cable for displays to work again. I currently have one one monitor connected through the HDMI port; the second monitor is connected with a USB-C to HDMI adapter. I should clarify that both monitors work perfectly on their own; the issues come when both are connected. Any ideas?


I've liked a video of flickering. The apps are non-responsive when flickering is occurring.

Mac mini 2018 or later

Exact same issue here with my new M1 Silicon Mac Mini. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest OS ver 11.0.1 but didn't solve. I am uploading a video showing the issues:
