Thunderbolt dock/hub USB ports stop working after disconnect/reconnect after Monterey 12.2

Hi WindyCloudyDay,

We see after updating to to the latest version of macOS Monterey, peripherals connected to your Thunderbolt dock will not work unless you restart the Mac.

Given the steps you've taken and if your Mac is fully updated, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support for additional assistance.

Take care.

I too have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) and am experiencing the same problem with MacOS 12.2.1. USB ports and the Ethernet port on my Plugable TBT3-UDV dock are not functional after re-connecting the dock to the Mac. A full reboot is required to bring the USB ports and Ethernet port back to life. I experienced the exact same issue for many months with MacOS 10.x. Upgrading the MacOS 11.x Big Sur solved the problem completely, along with all subsequent releases of Big Sur. The early versions of Monterey 12.0.x and 12.1.x did not experience issues. The problem seems to have returned with Monterey 12.2.x. This appears to be a bug that needs to be addressed by Apple.

WindyCloudyDay,

Thanks for clarifying.

From here our recommendation is to reach out to Apple Support directly for assistance.

I am seeing the same problem after upgrading to Monterey 12.2 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports) with a CalDigit TS3 Plus dock. This is immensely frustrating.

Yes, same here.

There ist a reddit thead over here with same problems: https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/sixq3o/weird_problem_with_caldigit_ts3/

Hopefully we find a solution for this....

Same issue. 2020 Intel Macbook Air, with a CalDigit USB-C Pro dock. 12.2.1 seems to have broken something, and I would very very much like it to be resolved as soon as possible.

Did you guys found a solution? Is it on MacOS side or on CalDigit side? (who should I complain to first? :-)

Exact same problem with my CalDigit dock and MacOS Monterrey 12.2.1

Thanks,
