Second display has been connected, no issue. Went and updated Macbook and now cannot identify second display.

I've had a second display connected, no issues, via a docking station. Went and updated Macbook and now cannot identify second display. Tried everything and nothing works.

Macbook Pro (2023) with M2 Pro chip wont recognise 2nd external display. Both monitors connect via Thunderbolt cables through a docking station and show up. However, it only allows me to extend on one monitor and then duplicates this on the second monitor. In the display setting it doesn't show up as though I have a second external display connected. Any fixes for this please?

External Display Issues — Ventura 13.4.1 Update M1 Mac Mini, about six months old, with two 27" HP external displays running just fine until updating to Ventura 13.4.1. Either one will still work in isolation via HDMI. But neither will show anything via either USBC port. Have tested with several cables and also switching power supplies. Sometimes, evidence of the other monitor will constantly flash up in Displays settings, only for a second at a time, with nothing visible on the actual screen. Other times, connecting USBC sends both screens black, which will remain that way until only HDMI is connected again. Literally nothing changed with configuration except for updating from an earlier version of Ventura (suspect 13.0.1 but uncertain) to 13.4.1. Have spent a long time on this and am now very frustrated and out of ideas. Could anybody please help with the solution...?

key commands for powering up a second display? My display has stopped working on my MacBook Pro. Also the touch strip above the key board doesn’t work. Does anyone know the key commands for powering up a second display?

Can you connect it directly to your Mac?

What your reason for using a docking station?
