Anyone else notice this? In prior versions of macOS, in Display Preferences, you could hold down the 'option' key and one of the buttons would change to "detect displays", which in practice I used all the time because the arrogance of Apple's product management doesn't line up with reality.
...but in macOS 12 (still in 12.2) this only works if your display HAS ALREADY BEEN DETECTED. Seriously. Open display preferences on a laptop (an M1 Pro in my case) and press the option key. No "detect display" button anywhere. Hook up a second display and try it now. The "Night Shift" button changes to "Detect Displays".
Who wants to detect their displays after the display has already been detected? Is there any rational explanation for this?
I just literally had to hook up a second external screen via HDMI that it was able to detect just so I could get access to the "detect displays" button to detect my USB-C display that was not being detected. I clicked the button, the display was detected, and then I disconnected the HDMI display that I never needed and only hooked up to get access to the button.
That is really next level hidden feature stuff.
