Microsoft Windows 11

Hello. I have run two computers with my HP27fw monitor using the HDMI ports to switch between computers. I've used it with different manufacturers (HP, DELL, Lenovo, etc...) with no issues to this point. I just purchased a new desktop and now I am having issues with my HDMI port 2 working properly. If I unplug the HDMI cable from port 1, the new machine from the monitor, the monitor will work and I can switch to HDMI port 2. 

 

When HDMI port 1 is plugged in, I cannot switch to HDMI port 2 NOR does windows see it as a display. No input signal found on the monitor display, and it never comes up! HDMI port 1 will work no problem. I have used this configuration as I said before I bought this new PC. Do I need a special Driver on the new machine? Both running Windows 11.
