Trying to add Displaylink Manager to Login Items (in System Settings/General/Login Items) to enable auto start does not work.
Clicking the + sign opens the window to choose items to add from, but when selecting Displaylink Manager, and click Open, simply nothing happens, the field remains empty.

Anyone has a solution as to what could be done, other than throwing Displaylink through the window and buy something else?
I encountered similar behavior after updating my system to macOS 13.3. In my specific case, I was able to resolve the issue by following these steps:

1. Disconnect the DisplayLink device from the host computer
2. Quit the DisplayLink Manager Application
3. Drag the DisplayLink Manager Application to the Trash
4. Empty the Trash (** this is an important step **)
5. Reboot the computer
6. Download and install a fresh copy of the DisplayLink Manager Application version 1.8.1.
7. Configure the DisplayLink Manager Application to start automatically at login
8. Reconnect the DisplayLink device to the host computer

If you follow those steps, does that help in your specific case?
