Anytime I power down monitors for sleep, hibernation, power off, etc. and then power them back up by waking or turning the computer back on, the monitors connect one at a time causing the screens to flash black and screen priority will jump around until they’re all connected. I’m wondering if there is some way I can optimize my system to make this experience smoother. I would love the monitors to come on all at once without all of the faffing about.
I’ve been running the configuration below for the past 4-5 months, so I’m still a fairly new user. Please let me know if I can provide further details that would help.
