Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Community Akifemsurg,


Good job testing in safe mode. The purpose of that isolation step, is to narrow down the cause of the behavior, which will help determine the appropriate next-steps.


Installing an earlier version of macOS, might cause additional issues, and would not be a step we recommend.


Safe mode temporarily disables non-essential software that would otherwise load on startup. If the display appears as expected in safe mode, then you've effectively isolated the issue.


The following explains the steps to take based on the result of your testing in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac


If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode

If the issue doesn't continue while in safe mode, leave safe mode by restarting your Mac normally. Then test for the issue again. The issue might be resolved.

If the issue returns after leaving safe mode, startup items are probably at fault. Apps can install such items in numerous places, and they aren't always easy to find or recognize. For that reason, you should first make sure that you've installed any available updates for your Apple software and third-party apps.

If updating your software doesn't help, try any of these solutions:

Test your login items.
• To learn whether software in your user account is causing the issue, set up a new user account, then log in to it and try to reproduce the issue in that account.
• Unplug all accessories from your Mac, including printers, drives, USB hubs, and other nonessential devices. You could have an issue with one or more of those devices or their cables.
Reinstall macOS.

If you still need help, please contact Apple Support.


We hope this helps!

Scorched Earth Method 


This method will WIPE ALL Data and there is No Data Recovery - Period.


➡️ Only works on Intel Based Apple Computer ⬅️


To perform this action will require booting from a Bootable Installer


The Bootable Installer can Only be performed on an Apple Computer 


This will have to be performed from a Qualifying Computer to run the version of macOS to be made on the Bootable Installer.


Example : Bootable Installer of Monterey would have to be done on a computer that Qualifies to run Monterey.


Notation: If the computer being used to perform this action is Too New or Too Old to qualify to run the version of macOS - this computer can not be used.


Alternative is, to gain access to a Qualifying Apple Computer from a family member, friend or associate.


Extra Special Notation regarding the Touch ID equipped Apple Computer.


 About Startup Security Utility and Must Enable from Recovery Mode the ability to boot from External Drive Before Attempting 


1 - Shutdown computer and disconnect all external drive Except the newly created Bootable Installer.


2- Restart and immediately hold the OPTION key until the Startup Manager appears and choose the USB Drive. 


3 - It will present options >> Disk Utilities >> View >> View ALL attached Drives. 


4 - Choose the Upper Most Drive ( not the volumes indented and list below ).


5 - The drive normally is called Apple Media or Apple SSD - that is the drive to Erase and format as APFS with the GUID Partition Map.


6 - Once that is done >> backup out of Disk Utilities and choose install macOS. 


7 - Follow the prompts and it may automatically reboot several time. 


8 - Upon a final reboot - Setup Assist will present with the new Installation of macOS 12 Monterey.

Thanks for the suggestions I did all of them and the problem persists

the frustrating thing is at the bottom of the info on the Apple website is exactly what is at the end of your reply - If you still need help, please contact Apple Support. The frustrating thing is that just takes me to a list of FAQ or come back to the communities.

I'm getting nowhere I have a perfectly good computer a many thousands of dollars external monitor I need for work which I can use in safe mode but graphics are tiny and I have lost the ability to divide my screen. At least my PC works!

So again thanks for your suggestions but really Apple have lost me.
