2 displays with M1 mini

M1 mini (Monty) sometimes wakes not seeing 2nd display.

Only way to get it to see it is a restart. Log out/in doesn't work.

In Displays, there is no "Detect Displays" button to option click either.

Is there a setting I'm missing?


I'm using a TESmart KVM which works perfect otherwise.


Is there a way to get a mounted drive to show up on both displays automatically without open a new window on the 2nd display?


Mac mini 2018 or later

Disable Sleep, it’s unnecessary on later Macs, all pain, no gain. To disable, set your Energy Saver settings to as shown: 


Separately, avoid manual sleep, use screen lock instead or let the display switch off/auto-lock on timer. For long or overnight absences, shut.
