problem with recognizing an external monitor on sonoma 14.4.1

I updated to sonoma 14.4.1 right now. Before updating, I connected to the monitor(DELL), which was working. However, as I've completed the updated, mac(m3) does not recognize it. Does anyone have the same problem?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.4

SOLVED. I have 2 monitors that are daisy chained and ends into laptop. Same cable also provides power to my computer. So I disconnected that cable, and plugged the USB-C power cable that's connected to my brick into computer. Then I plugged the cable from the monitors into laptop and both monitors were immediately recognized. Unplugged the power cable from the brick and now everything is working normally. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I also had this problem. I am using a MacBook Air, 15-inch, M2, 2023. Installing Sonoma 14.4.1 bricked my display support. I could no longer detect my LG UHD 32UP83A-W which was connected via USB-C cable.


My solution was to reset my monitor back to factory conditions. Upon doing so, my MacBook instantly recognized the monitor like it used to.
