Windows 10 - No DisplayLink context menus

otto · 02-10-2016, 03:52 PM

When I click the DisplayLink icon in my tray, I only have the following options (none are expandable):

DisplayLink Manager
------
1. Targus USB3.0 DV Docking Station
2. Targus USB3.0 DV Docking Station
------
Audio Setup
Video Setup
------
Fit to TV... (grayed out)

There are no options to extend the display, turn off the laptop display, etc. These were always present with Windows 8.1 (using an older version of DisplayLink software/drivers). I would like to turn off my laptop display since I don't use it when I am connected to the USB 3.0 docking station.

DisplayLink 7.9 M4
Windows 10 (Version 1511, Build 10586)

Hello,

You can change the option by right clicking on your desktop and then select screen resolution.
The DisplayLink Manager was simplified not to duplicate features and be closer integrated with what Windows 10 offers by default.
From the screen I mentioned above, you will be able to change all monitors connected.

Regards,
Alban

I dont have the sub menus either. How can i rotate my screens without the other menus?

You go to the same place as the native screen in the menu I indicated above.

I have been looking everywhere in my display settings and I dont see anything about rotation of the monitors.

Microsoft calls that screen orientation.
Here is a link to the Microsoft Windows 10 help page on that.
