Windows 10 Pro Insider 14251 release issue

Hello,

Since Build 14251, screen constantly flickers when Displaylink driver is installed and DL device is connected.

Tried the trick with the registry keys to delete, did not work at all.

Looks like a driver issue under this specific build. Previous build was not affected by this issue.

On the other side, Microsoft annouced that there could be some memory issues with this build : "...Due to a recent memory management change, you may see periodic app crashes or other memory related app errors. ..."

Reverted back to Build 11102 and everything is fine again.

Looks like explorer is crashing in a loop because of Displaylink driver under Build 14251 which causes this flickering.

Uninstalling Displaylink driver under 14251 makes everything work again, hence why the driver is involved in this situation : Instalaltion works fine, but as soon as you connect the device, it starts flickering and everything gets really slow. You can still control everything tho.

Disconnecting the DL device stops the flickering after a while.
