DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Conflict with NVIDIA drivers and control panel

Greetings,
I would like to report the following issue i noticed today:
I have 1x DVI monitor connected to a GTX460 and 1x HDMI monitor connected to a GTX560 + 2x AOC E2251FWU displaylink monitors on Windows 10 (latest updates) and recently after a nvidia driver update, the NVIDIA control panel refuses to open when displaylink monitors are plugged in.
Moreover, when they are plugged in, the other monitors (those connected to gpus) reset their resolutions to default values and the control panel doesn't open (exception explained below). When i unplug the displaylink monitors the resolution resets to my custom values and i can open the nvidia control panel again.
I have tested to see if it's the latest update at fault from nvidia (368.39) but it isn't because i went as far back as 353.30 (which is from last year) and it still does the same thing.
Also, when i choose to install the 3dvision driver from nvidia, with the same test scenario the nvidia control panel opens with only 3dvision options almost like it's not seeing my GPUs and their monitors and only seeing the displaylink monitors and thinking it's not compatible (primary monitor is set to the DVI one). I have tested this with both 7.9M5 and the 8.0Beta4 software and it's the same behaviour.
Any recommendations?
