My Mac mini is connected to a tv as a monitor so no screen shots. How can I overcome this problem?

Ultrawide 49" Display <> Macbook Air 2018 in Ventura 13.1 issues Hello, Today I decided to update to macOS Ventura, since doing so I have been experiencing display issues with an external monitor. I believe this is an Apple side issue with macOS Ventura. I have done some research and stumbled upon a few other Apple users having similar issues. On reddit, on /r/ultrawidemasterrace The graphical issue is identical to what I am experiencing (it looks different because my wallpaper is different). I am using a MacBook Air, Retina, 13-inch, 2018 with a 1.6 ghz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 Up to this point, I was having no issue on Monterey or Catalina with running this display. This happened immediately after installing the Ventura software update. For context, I am using a caldigit element hub 4 as my central docking station. I have tried both the hdmi and displayport inputs into this monitor, I normally use dp. I use a dp to lightning converter since the element hub 4 doesn't have DP or HDMI ports, only USB-A and USB-C ports. I have tried connecting the monitor directly to the air, and using the other port for power, this did not help. Users on MacRumor's forum are reporting similar issues since October. Ventura external display problem Temporary fix for external monitor issue over usb-c in Ventura So far, the workarounds seem to be Revert back to previous operating systems Run a process in terminal every single time sudo sleep 20 ; sudo kill -9 $(pgrep WindowServer) Run the monitor in PIP mode (only using half the resolution) Potentially booting from Safe mode Please have one of your Software Engineers address what is causing this bug. My theory is this appears to be tied to the resolution or refresh rate exceeding the graphical capabilities of the macbooks, but this is happening across different models. All of the previous hardware and displays has worked, so it cannot be a hardware issue. I do like the new operating system, and would not want to revert to an older version simply to get my display working again. I have attempted to go into the Displays setting and adjusting the resolution, but I mistakenly selected the "use as main display" dropdown (when using my laptop to adjust settings) and now cannot navigate/access to undo this mistake as it has to be in that mode to see that setting again. Other settings do not allow you to adjust display preferences - another potential fix in the future. I hope apple can roll out a fix quickly, because this is debilitating. Thank you,

MacOS Ventura - External Monitor disconnect I just updated to macOs Ventura, and my external monitor ( Samsung C43J890) Keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes. It is currently connected via USB-C. Was working fine prior to updating to Ventura, so my assumption is that it is related to the OS updated. Mac Book Pro M1Max.

Programs not covering the screen All of my programs open covering only about 80% of the screen. I know how to make them bigger but I want them to open that way. I'm not talking about full screen, I just want them to extend to the sides. 2018 MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.1

Click here and run the tool. You may need to restart with the Shift key held down.

Allan Jones: That User Tip requires taking screenshots, which OldCityCatLady reported being unable to do.

I did not purposely install this virus, it appeared after an apple update. Although the redirect search is annoying, the main issue is that it is interfering with hyperlinks in state and city tax websites. Clinking the links to pay a tax sends me back to searchmarquis.

I did not purposely install this virus, the biggest issue is that clicking hyperlinks in city and state websites to pay taxes always just sends me back to "searchmarquis"
