Monitors go blank after closing lid

Hi, Thanks for the response. Not what I was hoping to hear but if Monterey is required for Clamshell mode, it is what it is.

Since I'm trying to solve a serious performance issue that I traced back to the last hub I was using and now confirmed this new hub exhibits the same problem albeit somewhat less it seems - I will look at upgrading to Monterey in hopes that all my problems disappear and everything just works - wish me luck, a lot of luck.

Thanks again.

I just resolved this one for me. I have an M1 processor on a Macbook Air 2020. I resolved the issue by plugging into a power source.

Thanks for this. I do have external power plugged into my Macbook so this "fix" didn't work for me.

Took all weekend to get a complete backup done, now I will proceed to upgrade to Monterey and see if the clam-shell mode works and my dock-related-performance issues go away entirely. Will post back.
