Macbook M1 (2020) - Changed the orientation to 90 deg bug

[asusmb]

Hi everyone,

I use a Macbook Pro M1 (2020) with an Asus MB 169+ with Big Sur 11.3.1. Everything was working fine until I chanegd the orientation to 90 degrees.

Now everytime that I plug in the external monitor, my computer logs me out and the screen goes black.

The only way for me to get back a working computer is to disconnect the monitor.

Anyone experienced this?

I tried uninstalling DisplayLInk, and reinstalling it, but it did not do any good. How can I reset the Mac OS X default orientation to normal and not 90 degrees?

Thank you!
