This my setup:

ASUS ZenBook 14X OLED UX5400EA-KN068T Notebook 35.6 cm (14) WQXGA+ Intel Core i7 16 GB LPDDR4x-SDRAM 1000 GB SSD Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Windows 10 Home Grey

eGPU - Razer Core X
Nvidia Gefore GTX 1070
Inter Irs Xe Graphics - Deactivated

3 monitors linked to the eGPU
Laptop monitor - Deactivated
On 12th July Windows 10 installed 2 updates:

KB5040427 (OS Builds 19044.4651 and 19045.4651)​

KB5041019 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2​


Since then whenever I leave a game or when I am watching a movie with VLC and I leave full screen in VLC, I hear the noise that something has been disconected and something has been connected.

If I am leave VLC but have a game on, I will only hear the noise, however if I only have a game on and I leave it the screen flickers and sometimes resolution changes.
I believe this is due to the eGPU disconnecting and reconnecting as windows is trying to switch to the integrated card and can't.

Is their a way to stop this? And of course to make sure it is the eGPU(though I am quite certain it is as none of the other usb perifirals stop working)?

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for the help in advance.
