I am a little confused. I spent 30 dollars on cables that are VESA certified with the impression that this would fix my issues. Why did I just spend 30 dollars on cables that don't help fix my issue?

Yes, that's what you get trusting the internet 
 
Not sure why that was suggested, perhaps they did not properly read your question.
 
DP is an active connection, unlike VGA, when you turn off the monitor the computer knows it disconnected and removes it from the usable displays (VGA will just keep outputting to non-existent monitor). The feature is called hot plug detection, and/or DDC/CI.
 
This is fixable in a number of ways. Ideally, your monitor has a setting in it's OSD to disable DDC/CI (might be called something else based on monitor manufacturer.) Next best option would probably be this: https://sites.google.com/site/ebobster/stuff/displayportblanking
 
And finally, you can use SW to restore the windows to where they were: http://www.ninjacrab.com/persistent-windows/

Good luck.
 
tl;dr this has nothing to do with the cables. EVGA tech support should really know better ;)

Excuse me. I bought a very expensive EVGA product and have come here to post for support thinking it might be an issue pertaining in someway to the video card.  I get support from an EVGA employee, which is great, but come to find out that the support I recieved from the EVGA employee was completely wrong evidently. I spent money because of him and come to find out, I didn't need to. He might as well have stolen the money right out of my wallet. I expect an answer!

Which one do I want both of these monitors to be set to? ON or OFF?
 

Off is what you want. That might fix it by itself if you get lucky, more likely you will have to turn that setting off then use the EDID from a file trick here: https://sites.google.com/site/ebobster/stuff/displayportblanking
 
Turning off DDC/CI will prevent the monitor from telling the computer its EDID info, and loading that EDID info manually from a file makes the computer think the monitor is always there (as the file is always there).
 
And don't be mad at EVGA support, tech support is hard and they are doing their best. Next time they will know.

I only see Workstation Settings on my Quadro Cards and not on any of my GeForce Cards.

How correct you are. Bloody Nvidia. Ok I think it is still doable on Geforce cards just a bit more involved.
You can override the default EDID with a reg key and INF file: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj133967(v=vs.85).aspx
And this tool can read out the current EDID: http://www.tucows.com/preview/58594

Not an easy task for most users to complete, but thanks for that MSDN Link.

Yup, easiest by far is to just use the software for it: http://www.ninjacrab.com/persistent-windows/

This is good to know, but I know the Green Users will not like this tool.

@m0demb0y, how do I open the reader? After uncompressing the double compressed file, there isn't an executable that I can see.

Oops sorry I put the wrong link in. This is the one you want: http://www.tucows.com/preview/329441

I am sorry but I am still not seeing an .exe.

Hmm, not sure what to tell you, when I download that I get a zip file with one file inside, Phoenix.exe

What terrible service from the mods. Still the mod who tells me to go buy something extra I don't even need to fix my problem hasn't responded and instead of helping the other mods just complain I bump a thread that needs to discussed as others have the issue. Ridiculous.
