Hi.
Thank you for the new release.
Quick question: Why do we have to reduce device security by disabling FileVault just to see the external screens before logon.
Thank you.

Hello,
When FileVault is enabled, macOS requires authentication to unlock the encrypted startup disk before the normal user environment starts. Since DisplayLink relies on software that runs after macOS has been unlocked, DisplayLink displays are not available at the FileVault login screen.
Regards,
Szymon

Thank you. Was that the same for the previous version. Running version 17 (DisplayLink)
