Resolution changes during KVM switchover

Home / Resolution changes during KVM switchover

Why do my windows resize/rearrange when I switch computers? The Display Data Channel (DDC) communication from each connected computer can be disrupted when the focus of a KVM switch is switched between computers. The issue is that when the KVM switches between the two inputs, the PC's resolution is returned to it's native 640x480 resolution and I not means of changing it (greyed out). Check your monitor's manual for true specs; manufacturers may advertise misleading refresh rates. Problem is, the resolution goes down from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 whenever I switch from my work laptop to my desktop.
