One reason I loathe DP is how it’s handling monitor presence in system when you power of monitor or switch input to 2nd port, it’s equivalent of unhooking monitor from pc which screws up desktop layout in most cases. with one monitor it’s not a problem but in multimonitor setup windows and task bars start jumping all over the place…
That’s not really an issue with DP itself, but with the operating system handling unplugging, if you allow me to be pedantic.
If I use display port for 2 monitors, when my system sleeps, all of the windows forget where they’ve been placed and I have to move each one back into position. 2x HDMI doesn’t have that issue. Until that changes, display port is unusable for me.
This is a windows bug. Are you still on win10? It’s fixed in 11.

Well I’ll be. Yes, I’m still on Windows 10. I suppose now I have a reason to consider updating.
Not really recommending this downgrade
Install https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/ and then it’s better than windows 10.
Why yes, let me run some untrusted software as admin from Github patching a central part of my OS while I don’t even know what it does!
Juat read the open source code, duh
Or the developers could write a proper readme and at least tell me what the software is for. If you can’t even bother to do that, I’ll gladly miss out on your software. Who knows what other surprises you just ignored.
