I hate to sound like a broken record, but since this is probably going to be an extended fix, and to prevent future breakdowns like this, can we have a small FTP site with the last 2 or three Win10 specific drivers?
I have a paid MediaFire account that I would be willing to host those files on permanently (and free of any sort of charge, obligation, or anything) to help users get out of a jam if (when) something like this happens again so that you don't have to expose that much more of your own bandwidth. The codebase for Win10 is nowhere near complete, and to honestly believe that there will be no more problems with this (or any other) driver is pretty naïve. However, with the testing that I am performing for my company, I am using this machine in a simulated environment but as if it is a production environment, including addressing tests like VPN access, server monitoring, Remote Desktop services, and am about to start testing Desktop virtualization, as well as native Hyper-V virtualization in the OS itself. And, being lazy, and liking to show off, I keep taking the machine out of the simulated environment and into the production environment more so than I should - but because it is simply faster to do so. Please, please, *PLEASE* give us access to older, stable drivers so that we can more effectively test the OS itself, as well as have a backup plan when testing a newly released version of the current driver doesn't work as well as it should out in the field. Thank you. |

Hi folks,
Can you you try the latest Alpha (v8)? It is linked to this FAQ: http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=376 Thanks, James |

Absolutely. And a no go again.
I have a new dataset collected as well. HTH |

Sorry, no change. If anything the behavior is worse. Instead of it acting like a new device is being installed every 5-10 minutes or so, it's now doing it about every 10 seconds.

My actual dock was bad / had gone bad at around the same time the update started messing with the displays. After another clean install of the latest v8, it exhibited extremely weird symptoms:
Now, mind you, as I said, it showed that it had detected all three monitors, even monitor type for the two external monitors - but there was no interaction between the dock and monitor, and thus no output. So, I swapped out with another dock, and it went through another driver installation routine, rebooted, and everything is working again. Thank you, DL team. |

Hi all,
We believe a lot of the issues being reported in this thread are related to the Windows persisted display layout settings which can be reset by deleting the following two registry keys: • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDriv ers\Configuration • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDriv ers\Connectivity It is caused by Windows saving something configured by our older software which then doesn’t interact well with our newer software. Let us know if that solves the issue! Thanks, Paul |

Your issue appears to be different. It looks like your device is not being detected correctly by the system. Are you able to check all the connections, in particular the USB connection to the host PC? Thanks, Paul |
