DisplayLink 7.9M3 causing Start Menu (Start,Cortana,edge) to crash

[Derek Dongray]

On Friday, I installed DisplayLink 7.9M3 on Windows 10, after which my Start Menu would not appear and the error log indicated errors with ShellExperienceHost, Cortana and Edge. After trying various fixes, I gave up until this morning, when a search happened to find the same error mentioned in a Beta Testing thread here. I uninstalled 7.9M3 and reinstalled 7.9M2 and my Start Menu is now working again. Hence 7.9M3 obviously has some kind of issue. I await the next release...
