Windows Restart after switching monitors with a physical HDMI switch

Hello, PeterRolef

Thank you for the additional information you have provided.

From the results of the query, it appears that your current Feintech SW210 HDMI 2.1 Switch seems to be better suited for switching between TVs, so I would suggest that you try doing a troubleshooting test:

• Use one monitor alone and observe if your computer reboots. You can do this for both monitors in turn
  
• Assuming that the monitor and your PC work fine without the Feintech adapter, you may want to consider whether it's a compatibility issue with the adapter, as I found the following note in the product interface of the current adapter, so if it's convenient for you, could you please try a new adapter, one that doesn't support switching for example, and see how it behaves.

Monitor not receiving signal from pc after using hdmi passthrough

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

HDMI Pass-Through does not work with all devices. Before attempting to set up an HDMI Pass-Through connection, you should make sure the source of the signal such as a Blu-ray player or Set Top Box, supports HDMI Pass-Through.

In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Did you try a different HDMI cable to connect your PC to the monitor?
2. When you say "my pc will not display to my monitor", are you able to see any error message on it? For example: 'No signal'.

Meanwhile, try the below suggestions and check if this helps.

• If your monitor has an option in the Menu Button to switch the
  Input Source to HDMI Port, I would suggest you to try it.
• Try completely disconnecting your Xbox from the computer and just connect your computer to the monitor and check if you are able to see the display on the monitor.
• Make sure your display is plugged in and turned on.
• Unplug the video cable from both your display and PC, and then reconnect them firmly. After you reconnect the video cable, try moving your mouse on your display.
• Try connecting to different video outputs on your PC. Sometimes a change in driver can cause the video to be sent to a different display adapter or output.
• If you have your own display adapter installed and connected to your display,
  try connecting your display to the built-in video on the motherboard.
• Check for damaged HDMI cable, loose connections, or faulty adapters.

Hope it helps.

We're looking forward to your response.
