Windows 8 + Optimus problems: A modest proposal

Have you tried:

Open "device manager"
Expand the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry
Then stop (by uninstalling) the "USB Component Device" items listed one at a time until you find the one the DL monitor is on.

If this solves the problem, without having to uninstall the DL software, then you can write a batch file to disable the USB Component using devmanview from Nirsoft.net. It is probably available at your favorite download site also, e.g. cnet.com.

I have actually. I have also went in, stopped the displaylink service, and physically removed the device from the machine and rebooted. In the end, nothing short of uninstalling, or running the game in windowed mode works. Unfortunately, windowed mode is not an option for every game.
