I use a USBC docking hub and DP to connect to external monitor.

Everytime I connect to my external monitor(Linux mint) after connecting it to windows, external display just doesn't work. Only solution is to restart my Laptop, only then the external display works.

Any solutions? Without restarting my computer?

Please add some technical details:

What version if Linux Mint you are using, what desktop environment you are using, what graphics hardware you are using and what drivers you are using.

    Can you please clarify your physical set up?

    Do you have one computer which is dual booting or two computers? Are you taking the cable from one computer and plugging it in tk your laptop or are you talking about rebooting from windows with it plugged in the whole time and it failing to start up? If you remove it before rebooting and plug it in after booting into Linux does it work?
