Thank you for responding [Cutting off Monitor] = Power down monitor physically turning off the monitor

i have also found another glitch in this scenario. I have a hot corner set up to Activate Screen saver if

i have either one or two monitors powered on, and activate the above describe hot corner the mouse stop working completely, you have to shut down computer then restart. if you let screen saver activate by itself and let the computer got to sleep everything is OK. i would also like to state that the problem was a lot more random with file sharing turned on , since turning off file sharing. the 2 above problems are consistent

Not a programmer , trying to perform a logic diagram as it were i hope this helps

So as you can see the same issues with mouse and keyboard on Monterey-OS as others but not on Sierra-OS

Possible a doubling of a line code of some kind ? Not a Programmer. So I'll leave this up to you my friend

The temporary workaround is "F Key Shortcut" Mission Control

Thanks again

I hope this helps, Please feel free to ask of me freely.
