Video window area blank/black on external monitor
 

Hello,

I have a Dell D3100 docking station which includes DisplayLink connected to a Dell XPS 13 running Windows 10. I'm having trouble with a particular piece of software (Nik Collection - Silver Efex Pro 2).

When I open up the application, I get a window with a big white area, the window basically isn't painting. I can still click on things in the user interface, so I know it's a video only issue. If I disconnect the docking station and use the laptop's built in display, it works fine.

Has anyone ever had a similar issue?

Here is a screenshot showing the issue:

Hello,

From the information available in your post, this sounds like the Intel OpenGL bug on Windows 10 as it affected Adobe video editing products the same way.

They issued new drivers for recent platforms:
Version: 15.60.0.4849 - Date: 11/7/2017

HI Alban,

Thanks for the response. I tried to install the driver you linked to, but it's giving me an error message: "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer. Setup will exit."

Is there anything else I can try? I checked for updates from Dell and it says my software is up to date.

Hello,

It depends which CPU generation you have as they didn't fix older generation.
You could use the zip version to force the driver.
You could create a ticket to Dell to get the new driver authorised.

Kind regards,
Alban
