Application menu bar is not responding on MI Mini

I have just upgraded to a new Mac mini with M1. I can not get a response when I mouse over a Menu Item in any Application. My old 2018 Mac mini is siting beside the new M1 and it works fine. Both systems are on Version 11.0.1.

I’ve went through all the notes and this is what I noticed. Using my thunderbolt cable was the problem. I switched back to my usb-c 4 and the menu is active and working. Looks like the same ongoing issue with 4K monitors or monitors connected using thunderbolt?
