    Ok, my setup is the following: I have a PC Running Windows 11 and a Laptop connected to a Docking station. Both Laptop and Pc are connected to a KVM switch with 2 monitors, a keyboard and a mouse.When I start my PC, everything works fine.I can switch to the Laptop, Can use mouse and keyboard with the laptoo no problem. After several switches back and forth, the Keyboard stops working on the pc. It still works fine on the laptop. Mouse works fine. Replugging the Keyboard or even the KVM does not resolve this issue, only a full pc reboot does.The Keyboard is a Corsair K55, and I can see it conne

    KVM switch USB not reinitializing

    I've had the TK-409K KVM switch from Trendnet now for about a year and I don't have to switch between computers very often so I'm not sure when the problem started. I have a Window 10 desktop and a mac laptop hooked into the ports 1 and 2 of the KVM box.
    If the switch is set to the Windows computer when the computer boots, the mouse and keyboard and monitor work with no problem. However, if I switch to the mac and then back to the Windows computer, the monitor works but not the mouse and keyboard. I have to
    reboot Windows to get the mouse and keyboard to work again. When I switch to the Windows computer, the light on the KVM box never stop blinking. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Windows 10 Creator Update - KVM Switch Problem

    After Creator update KVM switch has stopped working. PC works fine until switching when PC hangs (no keyboard or mouse) causing reboot. KVM switch is USB and VGA. Have updated Nvidia drivers and switched off fast start. All power management on usb is disabled.
    Can anyone suggest anything else I can try.

    Many thanks
