DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - [Solved] New MacOS Catalina breaks DisplayLink

jagablack · 12-28-2019, 03:24 AM

I recently upgraded to Catalina even though I had issues in the past OS updates of breaking the docking station with High Sierra.
I tried several of the recent versions of the DisplayLink driver. Nothing I could do would get it to prompt me to add the useragent to Screen Recording privilege with my primary account.
Finally I decided to install the software and then login as a different, local user... and do the rest of the setup that way... this time it prompted me as it should and now I am typing this from one of my external displays!
So... try installing it clean and then login as a new user and plug in the dock and the prompts should come up.
Hallelujah!
Hope it helps someone...
