Since about mid-November, Microsoft appears to be deploying a Windows Update just to the Surface Pro 1/2/3 that causes DisplayLink screens to go blank, even though all signs at the software level are that everything is fine.
If you don't have a Surface, it's likely a different issue. On the Surface, the Intel GPU driver version when the problem is present is 10.18.10.3496 dated 3/7/2014.
We've been able to solve the problem in most cases by manually installing a newer Intel driver version. We've posted steps on how to do that here:

If you can, post back here if this solves the issue for you. That'll help us and others understand whether there's one problem here or several.
And for customers with Plugable products, thanks for your patience and please don't hesitate to email us directly at
support@plugable.com -- we'll work to solve any remaining issues.
Thank you!
