I agree....This is not fixed...I have 4 of these devices and all not working after win10 anniversary update on 2 different machines....When are you going to fix for the rest of us?

Hi All

There are multiple issues being discussed in this thread. I understand the frustration that your devices no longer work and we are fixing this. To summarise, there are 2 problems in this thread:

There are devices based on the DL-1x0 family, originally made for Windows XP but we are still committing to supporting these devices. I suspect there are not many PC components you bought for XP and can still download the latest Windows 10 drivers for. We needed to get a driver out for Windows 10 Anniversary edition and support for these devices was something that was cut to make the date.

However we do have a fix, and these devices will be supported from 8.0 M2, released at the end of August. If you contact us at http://support.displaylink.com we can make a development build available now.

The other problem in this thread are devices that switch to mass storage, to auto install drivers. This affects a small number of products that have been available and is a more complex fix, as it is trying to make a device work that was never designed for Windows 10. We want to fix this in a release soon, but don't have a fix or a schedule yet.

I'm going to close this thread and make the subject fit the actual root cause before it turns into a dumping ground for many different problems that people are finding with Windows 10 Anniversary update.

Thanks

Wim
