Windows 7 Update kills USB DisplayLink

The DisplayLink icons are visible in the Devices Control Panel, but seem to do nothing there. The NVidia Control Panel doesn't see the DisplayLink items at all, and in trying to discover the DisplayLink monitors, nothing is seen, and the monitors remain on standby even when a rigerous search of monitors is selected.

Can anyone see why the Windows Update should have killed off the monitors? All assistance gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Could you post the log files? The Windows updates you are pushed depending on device, but there should not have been any new software pushed out lately.

The log files should give me more information as to what is going on.

The Kensington Dock problem is a different question, now answered here.

Thanks
