This worked for me. Thanks Jparishll!
Issue:
My external Monitor stopped working after upgrading to BIG SUR.
Computer Setup:
I have a usb-c adapter connected which allows my external monitor , network, and I plugged my power in usb adapter and speaker to connect...
Fix that worked for me: I first unplugged adapter
unplug power from adapter
reconnect adapt WITHOUT (Usb-c )power connected...FINALLY External monitor was found and displayed
Then plugged in usb-c Power to adapter
Possible Explanation:
Some drivers might no be loading via adapters when Power is connected to it. Basically reconnect everything without power and then connect power to adapters...
