Can't keep my configuration of monitors

Hello everyone and happy holidays!

My company bought me a new Macbook Pro 2019. Of course, this differs very much from my 2015. I’m still running Catalina because Captivate is not compatible with Big Blur yet.

So, I’ve hooked up my dual monitors using a USB-C. USB-C to display port, to be exact and they work splendidly. I’m looking for a utility that remembers my arrangement, though. I used InsomniaX, so I can close the lid and still have the monitors active.

But, every morning when I turn it on, everything is all over the place. Is there a utility that takes an “snapshot” of your working setup and runs a script or something to designate which monitor goes where?

Also, when I open Premiere now, it’s defaulting to one screen. So, I have to set that up every time. I wasn’t sure what to look for, that’s why I come where the masters are!

Maybe a tool that remembers your configuration, and returns it the way you set it? It’s gets really old setting all my apps up, every day, to the proper dual monitor configuration. I appreciate any help.

Thom

With your system turned on and nothing altered!

Open your System Preferences > Displays Now arrange the displays as you want them. Once set exit System Preferences and fully shut down your system and restart are they where you want them?

Thanks, Dan.

No, that would be too easy. I’ve tried every simple method that I know.

Turning monitors on first

Turning monitors on after it’s booted

Arranging, then saving... yadda yadda

Nothing that made sense before, would “stick” and remember after a shutdown.

It just seems as though the USB-C ports randomly activate in no particular order on the 2019. Or, they activate in the order they see activity, poor design of launch agents. It’s different every time. But I think I found a solution. I will put in the answer area with pix.
