Display Link Manager closes after User switching
I have a Targus DOCK190EUZ connected to my MBP M1. There are two screens connected to the dock.
I use the MacBook with a private and a work account and I often switch between them. Whenever I change to the other account and back again, the DisplayLink Manager is closed. I need to manually start it again in order to "activate" the two external displays. How can I fix that? |
Hi there, did you ever get to the bottom of this issue or find any workarounds?
Having the same troubles here, M1 MacBook Air, Dell D6000 dock, with 2 displays attached through DisplayPort plugs on the back of the dock. Seems to be very little about this particular problem out there... Cheers |
The only solution I found is to close the App before switching accounts.
Definitely not the best usability. |
I just discovered this today. Like AverageBen, I have an M1 MacBook Air and Dell D6000 dock with 2 displays. I work in clamshell mode, so when I switch, I have to open my MBA and turn DL back on. Very annoying.
Turning off DL prior to switching isn't helpful because if you turn it off, then you don't have the extended desktop. That's fine, though, if you're not working in clamshell I guess. I hope there's a fix for this soon. |
Hi I'm having this issue too and wondering if there is a known fix for this yet or are we still waiting?

Any updates?
Still facing this issue, hope this is fixed soon :(

I do some user switching during the day on Mac OS (Business / Private Profile). It would be nice if displaylink would recognize the circumstances and auto initialize itselfs afterwards. |
My Solution
I use Eventscripts to solve this.

DisplayLink fails when switching users
Quote:
Is there a way to install the DisplayLink software for 'all users'? The failure to load happens when switching user accounts and is not specific to which account was logged into on a restart. I with account several times a day for different work projects and restating each time is inconvenient at best, it significantly interferes with work efficiency. Thanks for any and all suggestions/help! Cheers |
