Ventura 13.0.1 update results in USB-C monitor no longer being detected

I have a 2021 14" Macbook Pro with two external monitors, one via HDMI and the other via USB-C (Thunderbolt 4 port). Both worked flawlessly. Updating to macOS Ventura 13.0.1 this morning (11/10/22) resulted in the USB-C monitor no longer being detected. I'm aware of another work colleague who has the exact same setup and is experiencing the same issue after updating macOS as well. I can't find any troubleshooting given the newness of macOS Ventura.

For all here strugling with same issue. I tried all software solutions adviced here and on other forums. I also tried to switch dongles, etc. Nothing worked for 2 weeks.


Then i remembered i also use HDMI switch (low cost) - even if i have enabled untrusted accessories in settings - it is not working due to it for some reason.


After disconnecting and connecting my usb-c hub directly via HDMI to monitor it works like a charm.



Hope this will be fixed soon. Since I need to switch HDMI input from linux to mac time to time.

Same problem with my M1 Mac mini upgrading from Monterey to Ventura 13.1, using a 32" 4K LG ergonomic display via USB-C. Monitor works with HDMI connection only. Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB-C cable didn't help.

However disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable of the monitor then reconnecting to the Mac via USB-C seems to solve the problem.

On my iMac, Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019 I solved the issue doing the following:

  1. Deleting the file com.apple.windowserver.[...].plist in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
  2. Shutting down the iMac
  3. Unplugging all (!) cables from my Apple LED Cinema Display
  4. Unplugging all (!) cables from my iMac and waiting 15+ Seconds (that does an → SMC reset, btw.)
  5. Replug everything: display power, DP-connection to iMac, USB-connection to iMac, iMac power
  6. Perform a → NVRAM reset as explained here: https://iboysoft.com/wiki/nvram.html
  7. Boot macOS Ventura 13.1 (22C65)


And voila - everything works again! 😍

Sounds almost ridiculous, but perhaps worth a try! Even though USB-C can be plugged in either right-side-up or upside-down, you can try flipping the usb-c plug. In my case, I was using a usb-c extension cable from my usb-c hub to my 2018 Macbook Air (also, I do not have the "Allow accessories to connect" option at all). I flipped the female USB-C plug and now my usb-C hub works again!


This is where I found the solution that worked for me. I can confirm and vouch that the following worked for me. Wired usb keyboard and mouse stopped work… - Apple Community

I bought my Samsung Curved Monitor with USB C charging included 2 yrs ago and I have been using My M1 MacBook Pro 2020 and I have never encountered any issue until I updated my laptop to Ventura. Ever since then, the charging wont work properly, keeps disconnecting. Sometimes its fine, sometimes it just keeps disconnecting and finally fixes its self.


I also got a new M2 pro Macbook Pro 14 2 weeks ago and I am having the same issue, it's clearly the software. I plugged in an older device (not Ventura) and works with no issue.
