Hi,<br />
<br />
The primary computer is behaving exactly as designed. To prevent you having a program open on a screen you can no longer see. <br />
<br />
There may be a third-party solution available such as <a href="https://www.displayfusion.com/" rel="ugc">Display Fusion</a> which allows much more control than vanilla windoze

I have a KVM connected to my primary computer and secondary computer. Monitors 1 &amp;&nbsp;2 are connected to my primary computer and monitor 3 is connected to the KVM over HDMI. The problem I am having is that when I switch back to my primary computer whatever I had on monitor 3 prior to switching to my secondary computer is kicked over to monitor 1. I then have to move it back over to monitor 3. I know that when I switch to the secondary computer my primary computer loses connections to monitor 3 and this is causing the problem. <br />
<br />
Is there a way configure the primary computer to drop the connection to monitor 3 when switching the KVM?

KVM and monitor issue

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
