Capturing stops, on switching input on monitor

Using nvidia gtx 1080, passed to window. gtx 1080 is connected to a monitor. The looking glass works and displays the captured screen fine while the monitor input is switched to GTX 1080. But as soon as I switch the monitor’s input to host linux port or turn off the monitor. The looking glass stops capturing the input.

Windows disables it’s output when there is no monitor attached, unfortunatly your monitor is not following VESA standards and is not presenting the EDID information even when the monitor is off. There is nothing that can be done about this other then buy a new monitor or use a dummy plug.
