U2721DE, can't choose Auto Select input source?

As title says, I'm using a U2721DE monitor and I can't activate Auto Select.

The menu allows choosing USB Type-C, DP, or HDMI.

"Auto Select", Auto Select for USB-C and Reset Input Source are all greyed out.

I want to share between two PCs, one on USB Type-C and the other on HDMI. But it's quite annoying changing the input manually (turn off from standby, turn on, activate menu, etc.)

What do I need to do to enable the Auto Select mode? I didn't see any clues in the manual.

Firmware version M3T103.

    I disabled DP 1.4 by following these steps from the manual and now I can choose Auto Select? Weird but OK.

    @abstruse_goose​ , thank you, I had the same problem and this fixed my issue by pressing 8 seconds and selected DP 1.2 (in my case)
