Shutdown Required for Monitors to Work

mat21 · 11-26-2019, 11:46 AM

I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch, 2019, Mojave version 10.14.6 with a Dell D6000 Dock and 2 Dell monitors. No matter which version of the displaylink software I have installed, the external monitors won't work unless I shut down my laptop, plug the dock in, then power it back up. If I then unplug the monitors, I have to shut down and power on with the dock connected in order to get them to work.

This used to work, but I had to factory reset the laptop for an unrelated issue, and now I can't get it working again. This is a huge pain since I usually take my laptop to several meetings throughout the day and have to shutdown and start back up every time I leave my desk.
