One of my Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports has been working intermittently. Could this be software-related?
#4
I've had USB ports go dormant on older Macs.

Often a reboot brought them back.

That made me thing it software related.

When that didn't, unplugging the Macs for a spell, brought them back to life.

That could be software, because a Restart isn't the same as a Shutdown.

Or it could be hardware bits cooling enough during a Shutdown to let electrons collect and sort themselves.

I don't know if Tbolt ports are any different.

Ports do fail, but I'd consider considering that as a last resort.
