Apple Watch no longer works at login

When I "wake up" my computer, I get a message from DisplayLink saying that AppleWatch cannot wake up my computer "while my screen is being observed." This message is new. For about a year, the message never popped up.

Apple M4

This is unexpected. Would you follow this FAQ https://support.displaylink.com/know...to-displaylink
and submit a support request?

Thanks,

I'm seeing similar behavior. I submitted a ticket using the instructions above. Previously, I solved this by installing the most recent software, but that's still what I'm running (16.1)

Hello,

Does your Mac unlock with your Watch when disconnected from the DisplayLink product?

Did you ensure to follow this instructions from Apple support?

Same here

Im having the same issue. No new displays/devices and no other changes that I can think of. The feature worked perfectly no more than a week ago. Any solutions?
