Windows 10: Is there a docking station that is not recognized by the monitor if nothing is connected to it?

I have an HP G5 docking station connected to a laptop and the screen is connected to both a PC and the docking station.The problem is that after I disconnect the laptop from the docking station the screen doesn't switch to the PC but keeps showing a black screen, because somehow it's still "connected to an input". Is there any way to make it work with this docking station or is there any on the market that does what I need it to do?I could buy a display port switcher, but that would defeat the purpose of having everything work by plugging one cable and I'm already forced to use one to switch

  Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station

Dual Monitors connecting to Docking Station

I have an HP laptop, running Windows 7, with an HP docking station. I also have dual LG monitors. I have one monitor connected through the VGA port. I have a Displayport to HDMI cable for the second monitor. The display ports on the docking station
are ++. The HDMI monitor will wake up when connected, it asks if I want to connect, but I cannot answer OK. It then goes to sleep. I have the monitors set to extend, and I keep the laptop closed. Both monitors work, using the VGA, so I know it isn't a
monitor issue. Suggestions?
