DisplayLink Docking station with HDMI switch issue

Sorry I missed your reply....thought the forum was inactive.

And yes I know the VT4000 doesn't have an HDMI input. The only input is the USB-C cable from my laptop.

My diagram was wrong.
Laptop_--> VT4000 docking station -->HDMI switch --> Mon2 (HDMI)

The docking station has two DP/HDMI outputs which connect to my monitors. I can get either DP or HDMI docking station monitor output to work reliably unless the switch is used. The switch is a 60Hz 4k HDMI switch which allows me to easily change multiple input devices so I can't see why it would make a difference.
