How do modern KVMs address OSes thinking an HDMI or USB device is unplugged when switching? I’ve never found a solution that actually works because of this issue.

It seems this only addresses KB/Mouse by keeping them enumerated on the host PCs at all times and just sending no inputs to one. So that feels fairly solved. But what about monitors?




I've found this really depends on the monitor. My Samsung gaming monitor hates this, while the plain Dell ones I have will switch around decently.
