Display monitors do tend to use up quite a lot of thunderbolt bandwidth depending on the resolution (4K or higher especially). I suspect the display monitors also require a significant power draw from the ports that may sage the power to your audio interface, hence the bandwidth or power draw may cause a disconnect of the audio interface from Protools. Even though the audio interface reconnects to MacOS, Protools may not reestablish a connection after a disconnect, thus requiring a restart of Protools.
