I'm having a problem with my dual monitor setup. I connect my PC to two monitors, and I also have an HDMI cable running to my Roku TV in the living room for gaming. Here's the issue: whenever the Roku is plugged in, my monitors randomly go black, like they're being disconnected and reconnected. This doesn't happen when the TV is unplugged. I've already disabled fast start on the Roku, power-cycled both devices, and even explored the Roku's HDMI settings, but nothing seems to help. I'd prefer to keep the HDMI connection to the TV for easy access, but these interruptions are super frustrating while gaming. Has anyone experienced this or can suggest any Windows or Roku settings I might have overlooked?

Have you tried switching out the HDMI cable? Sometimes a faulty cable can cause weird behavior like this. Also, if you haven’t already, check if your GPU drivers are up to date; that might help with stability between the devices.
I swapped out the HDMI cable and even changed the GPU, but the issue persists. I think it might be more of a software setting conflict between the PC and Roku.
