Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system. Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of SwitchResX 4.11.

What's new in this version:

- Support for macOS "BigSur" interfaces changes
- Preliminary support for Macs with Apple Silicon CPU - based on the behaviour of the Apple Developer Transition Kit.
- Some SwitchResX features are simply not possible on Apple Silicon Macs for now, like the possibility to create custom resolutions, or to change system wide display settings. I'm not yet able to say if and when these features can be added back.
- Some features were working on the DTK, but the M1 Macs seem to again use an other architecture than the DTK, so I cannot say if and when the features will be ported on these Macs.

Lots of internal changes:
- The Contextual Menu is now implemented via a Finder extension on macOS 10.15 and above. This changes the "look and feel" of the Contextual Menu but is the only way to keep such a menu on BigSur, due to security changes in macOS
- SwitchResX installs a privileged helper tool to process saving custom resolutions (that's the modern way to do it, but SwitchResX had to support older macOS versions).
- The main menu now uses a Status Item and no more a Menu Extra. Menu Extras were only better up to macOS 10.11 and never really supported.
- Removed the code to migrate SwitchResX 3 settings, to simplify the code base…
- … which allowed to modernise some parts of the code, removing older Carbon code base
- Correctly sets HiDPI when saving a custom scaled resolution that is identical to native resolution
- Corrects an issue when applying custom resolutions immediately would lead SwitchResX to further be unable to show internal parameters of a resolution
- Corrects an issue when reenabling a disabled display wouldn't show the "Main Display" option in the Menus
