Unfortunately this issue with USB hubs made me return my MacBook Air today. As others here said, this is not a small bug which one can work around, instead this is a fundamental problem which prevents many people from using MacBooks. I bought it for work and I can't connect mouse, keyboard and display to it. My setup: MacBook Air M1, 16 GB Anker 5-in-1 usb hub (no power delivery) Monterey 12.1 Problem: Usb hub does not connect - power LED on the hub does not even come on. I spoke to a Apple support today and I've been told to "wait for next release" - which is definitely not a solution for me given that I need this computer to work. I didn't have other choice except of returning mac - I can't easily revert back to 11.2, I can't keep buying more and more usb c hubs praying that one of them will eventually work. Very disappointing. Bugs happen, but the fact there's no way to roll back make this situation much worse.
