Apple allows a Time Machine system backup of Ventura 13.3 to be applied to Ventura 13.2.


So I backed up my entire Ventura 13.3 system to a Time Machine (An AirPort Extreme on my wireless network), then erased my MacOS hard drive completely and re-installed 13.2 from a bootable USB.

Then on migration assistant, I selected the Time Machine backup. Got a warning about loading 13.3 content onto 13.2. Skipped the warning and proceeded anyway.

Not sure if these following steps were necessary, but just for good measure I uninstalled the previous version of DisplayLink and installed 1.8.1. Then I clicked the link in the software from the menu bar to install the “login screen extension status”.

Dock now works flawlessly again.

If anyone needs any help with these steps, let me know.

I tried this the morning, but I can't "downgrade" 13.3 to 13.2 - don't have a Time Machine backup either!
