Windows 8 Remote Desktop Issue

I believe that the DisplayLink software is causing the Windows 8 Remote Desktop App (Metro Environment) from the Windows Store to stop working. It gets to the point where it prompts for a username and password and then says "An Authentication Error has occurred (Code: 0x800706BE)." It doesn't matter what I try to connect to with the app.

It works fine if you use the Remote Desktop Application in the desktop environment. I have rebuilt the laptop, verified that it worked, and then reinstalled the DisplayLink software and verified that it again stops working.

Anybody else have this issue or a workaround?
