Radeon Rx 6700xt doesn't detect 2nd monitor until I unplug and replug

Updated to latest driver (23.7.2) earlier this week because Baldur's Gate is demanding.
I use a KVM switch to use my monitors with both my home PC and my work laptop.
1 monitor is plugged directly into the GPU, the other 2 go through the KVM, all using the Display Port
Before work, I can be on all 3 of my monitors, I then KVM over to work so I can access 2 of the monitors for my laptop (it doesn't support more).
Then after work I go back to home PC but 1 of the monitors is black. If I unplug it from either the monitor, the KVM, or the GPU it suddenly figures it out, but it's really annoying to have to crawl under the desk every day after work to switch cables.
Would this be solved by going back to a previous version?

Alrighty, thanks to another user on a different post, I was able to roll back until I found the version this isn't happening. 
23.5.2 has the secret sauce in it

I have the same graphics card and am having a similar issue, except I cannot get my PC to connect through the "A" monitor ports on the KVM under any circumstances. I have independently tested all cables and adapters, and I have confirmed the switch works using another computer through all ports.

I tried rolling back to the 23.5.2 driver like you said but that did not work either. I have looked through KVM's troubleshooting guides and have tried some things that they suggest but no dice. I am disappointed because I was hoping a strong GPU like this would be able to work with this switching device.
