Hello,

I recently updated to Displaylink 15.0.0 and my Mac is running Tahoe 26.2. I connect my M2 Max Macbook pro to by Thinkpad Hybrid USB-C docking station, connected to 2 LG monitors. Since updating to 15.0.0, I noticed that when I connect, I need to unlock my mac first in order for it to turn on the monitors. Previously I didn't need to do this, and I plugged in and left the mac in clamshell mode. I confirmed the settings in Dispalylink for system sleep in closed mode is turned off, and have tried removing and reinstalling displaylink, granting all mac security permissions, etc. Anyone else having this issue?

Device i'm using: 2023 14" MBP M2 Max, 32GB memory
OS: Tahoe 26.2
Displaylink OS: 15.0.0
Docking station: ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C
Monitors - LG connected to dock via HDMI (also have tried using DP instead of HDMI)
