my dell u2722d monitor connected to two pcs, the dell display manager input switching shortcut isn't working.

— asked by Riley

Check the input shortcut configuration. Open DDM, go to the Input Controller tab. You can define a shortcut key to quickly switch to a favorite input and another to toggle between two inputs.

  1. Verify the shortcut keys are assigned in the DDM Input Controller settings.
  2. Ensure DDM is installed on the computer you are currently using to try and switch. DDM can control input switching from any PC connected to the monitor.
  3. Check the video and USB upstream port assignments if you're using the KVM function. Each PC (PC1-PC3) needs both a Video Input Port and a USB Upstream Port selected.

If that didn't work: The communication channel (DDC/CI) may be blocked. Ensure no cheap cable extenders or converters are in use. Update graphics drivers on the PC where DDM is running.

Heads up: DDM communicates with your monitor even when the monitor is displaying video from another computer. You can install it on your primary PC to control switching.
