HDMI display detected as VGA

When the HDMI display plugs in, and I right click the DisplayLink icon in the taskbar then select Video Settings, a screen pops up with a drop down bar. If you click the drop down, display number 1 is the integrated display, display number 2 is detected as (vga), not hdmi.

I should also say that the adapter tries to send a signal to the HDMI monitor, but obviously it does not display because it is sending the wrong signal.

When this same HDMI monitor is unplugged and replugged in via a VGA cable, it displays correctly.
