This happens when an external is connected to the macbook Thanks for your reply, but what did you mean by an external? I don't use any monitors, the things connected are an external hardrive and a USB dongle.. Do you reckon those might be the cause?

This is f***ing ridiculous. 🤯

The issue is still here apparently, after the 11.4 update.

Since I've started using an external audio interface I had faced the same issue. Apple, please, fix it! *Patiently waiting for more shitshow with the upcoming macos..
