Pop!OS won't display output when KVM is not switched to it

Hi all, using Pop!os on my main machine and have Windows on my work PC. I use a KVM switch to go between them.

This works pretty well for the most part but one thing that's annoying is when the KVM is set to the Windows PC, and I turn on my main PC, it will turn on, but it won't output to any monitor after I switch to it.

When the KVM is switched to the main PC before booting, it boots and displays to my 3 monitors without issue.

I assume this is due to my main PC trying to find an output and if it can't find one, just boot without, I just don't know how to change that behavior and searching online for documentation or similar issues hasn't gotten me any results unfortunately.

I'm using Wayland as well if that makes a difference. AMD 7700 XT GPU.

It seems this would be managed by systemd?I'm still learning the more in depth technical bits with Linux so please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm all about trying to learn.
