It's the weirdest thing! It used to work perfectly. My TV at home does not have HDMI, but the VGA input works great.
When I ordered this new MBP, I got all adapters from Apple.
Today is when things got weird:
When I plug in thunderbolt 3 -> VGA I get nothing.
When I plug in thunderbolt 3 -> thunderbolt 2 -> VGA I get nothing.
HOWEVER, if I plug in the single TB3 -> VGA – ONLY directly after trying the above two adapters – it works. I'm saying the first adapter I tried works one single time, but only after trying to plug the same thing in using the second two adapters.
What the heck could this be?

It's a bug. If I leave the USB-C adapter plugged in, the VGA can be connected and disconnected without issue. That's the only way, other than my weird multi-adapter method. Kinda sucks to have to leave the adapter in, but that is the only way. I actually got a whole new MBP just for this issue, and the new one acted exactly the same BEFORE I imported any files or settings.
