Product: HP Z40c G3 WUHD Curved Display
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Got the Z40c G3 monitor yesterday which supports KVM functionality using the HP Device Bridge application.

I have two laptops - HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 running Win10 and Dell XPS 13 running Win 11. Both laptops are connected to different Thunderbolt ports of the monitor and the split screen is working fine.

I installed HP Display Manager and HP Device Bridge on both laptops. The Device Bridge is running on both laptops, but shows a message: "Not ready. Please wait and you'll be linked automatically". So I  cannot use the same mouse/keyboard with the both laptops as was intended.

Has anybody faced this issue?

Just a short update on the issue. It has solved itself when I connected the Thunderbolt cable to a different port on the Dell laptop.

Now the Device Bridge is working fine on both laptops and I can use the same keyboard/mouse.
