Monitors not coming back after switching back to the computer on KVM switch

Using a dual monitor KVM Switch I can go to the 2nd PC just fine, but I cannot come back to the first PC.

For some reason the two monitors think the DP signal is lost and they go into power saving mode. However, the first PC is still running, I can SSH into it from my laptop.

Until a week ago this worked somehow, it wasn’t perfect because it was bringing all open windows to the first monitor. But I take that anytime over rebooting the computer.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

And you posted this in #languages, why exactly? :roll_eyes:

I was looking for the English language and then I thought I backed out of the languages category before I posted. I didn’t know I posted this post of asking for help into languages category. I am not even sure how to fix it. Can you show me how to unselect the languages category?
