Default [BUG] Displaylink 7.4 M2 - Directx DDI issue

The displaylink driver 7.4 M2 causes the GPU / DirectX DDI version to downgrade from 11 to 10.1 , as you might of guessed this will break DirectX 11 detection in some games / programs
(I assume this is the main culprit 'bug' that triggered the issues other people are having with this driver, that never had problems before)

Just few affected games I have tested are
1. Tombraider 2013 (can no longer select / enable directx 11 features.)
2. Crysis 3
(I'm sure there are many more)

I have a Nvidia Geforce 560 TI gtx video card with the 331.82 drivers. (latest at the time of this post)
Displaylink device is the Sabrent USB-HRHD Usb 2.0
Windows 7 64bit Sp1 + all updates.

7.4 M2 (DDI 10.1 (should be 11 for a directx 11 supported video-card), broken WHQL detection)



----Here is an older driver screen shot, and also how I know this bug is related to the Displaylink driver-------


Old Displaylink driver 7.3. M1, 7.4 M0 (working correctly, DDI 11)
