Windows 7 Update kills USB DisplayLink

Spike · 06-18-2012, 08:09 PM

Hey, I just registered so I could provide a possible solution.
I am running a Startech USB2HDMI Displaylink adapter.
I had been running it for 3 weeks without issue from a dell Vostro workstation, using two USB ports in the back, on the motherboard.
I did a microsoft update, and after a reboot, the device was no longer recognized. It just showed up as a generic USB host or something.

For whatever reason, I am not getting sufficient power...But I was before.
I plugged the power only part of the supplied USB cable into my iPad USB charger, and it recognized it immediately.
Now its running.
Just thought I would share my experience.
I hope your issue is just as easy to fix.
