Correct. There are some compatibility problems between the 7.1M1 driver and the new Nvidia driver. The one I'm seeing is a problem with Google Chrome. I'm not sure if it's specific to the nvidia driver or just the displaylink driver.
The short-term fix is adding "--no-sandbox" as an extension to chrome's target path.
Can anyone recommend a USB dock that doesn't constantly have driver conflicts? Or is that like finding a unicorn? Are there any that don't use displaylink? At first I thought the only driver issues I had was with video games. DL seemed to work fine for every day use. I used old drivers, and I could even play XCOM on my external monitor. But when displaylink fixes one problem, it causes others. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia drivers so I can play the latest games resulted in having to upgrade to the newest DL software. And that resulted in chrome being unable to load pages. I just wish things were more plug 'n play... I recognize that my attitude about it is shit, but I didn't imagine myself spending an hour a month tracking down the fixes to all of the displaylink-associated issues before giving up and going back to older drivers.
I'm absolutely ready to track this expensive docking station to find something that's lower maintenance.
