Mac Book Pro M1 Max keeps forgetting display arrangement

Every time I turn my computer from sleep the display arrangement changes randomly. Is very annoying that I spent 4000 € for a computer that cannot remember the display arrangement.

I use three monitors that are the same model (Samsung M5) connected one by HDMI and the other two by USB-C (thunder bolt) port. Each one has a different port and I never switch the ports. The MacOS should use port number instead of persistent/contextual IDs because those keep switching

How can I solve this problem?

Hey angel_sya,

To start, you'll want to be sure your macOS software is updated using these steps: Update macOS on Mac

After ensuring macOS is fully updated, check for firmware updates for your monitors using the Samsung Support site here: Resource Center - Samsung

Let us know how it goes.

Take care.

I have the EXACT Same issue. Very Frustrating.

I'm on a Mac Studio Max. 3 monitors. 2 Samsung on the sides and an Asus in the middle.

MacOS keeps Swapping the 2 side monitors randomly after sleep.
