If i connect my primary LG thunderbolt screen (which is recognized and displays) and then try to connect any other monitor directly using either usb-c to displayport or usb-c to hdmi, nothing is displayed on the second monitor. The monitor acts like no cable is even attached. I have to disconnect the thunderbolt monitor, open the laptop then attach the non-thunderbolt monitor first then i can connect the thunderbolt display and close the laptop. Anyone else have this issue? (I've already reset the PRAM and didn't help) I haven't run two monitors in a while so I am not sure if this behavior is recent but in the past I haven't had a problem of this type. Only on sleep sometimes the displayport monitor wouldn't wake unless you disconnected and reconnected the display again.
