My current workaround is using the dock for speakers/usb extension, but I have to plug the monitors into the computer directly
Hello Deck,
The notion of not directly connected monitors is new in the anniversary update. If your driver doesn't implement it, then it will not work.
We are song some tests with Skyrim, because the tester looking at it lines to play but more importantly, Skyrim tells which card/driver it will use.
Can you make the Nvidia card the primary? The one that the POST/Bios messages are displayed on?
There are different configurations of dual graphics, even when using the Intel+Nvidia combo.
Kind regards,
Alban

Default Same issue with Nvidia control panel and Displaylink

I have a similar issue
Anytime I plug in my USB docking station , the nvidia card and Nvidia control panel no longer function.

I have tested this to be the case by deactivating the USB 3.0 adapter under Device Manager/Display Adapters and plugging on monitor directly into the HDMI out port.
Everything works as before. (Nvidia Video and control panel) but not two monitors

Displaylink software showing up under display adapters rather than USB adapters is causing this issue.

I am holding off the W10 anniversary update from all of my work computers so I do not have the same problem

Hello,
Would you please provide the zip of the logs as described in my signature?
Knowing how the DisplayLink driver works on this OS version, I don't see how this can be something we can address/cause...
But I'll wait for data before formulating an opinion.
Kind regards,
Alban

Default Displaylink and Nvidia control panel interation

Hello Alban,

Thank you for the help.
I do not have any install errors, just an interaction issue.
I attempted to attach a pdf showing the interaction, but apparently it is too large.

basically if the displaylink adapter is activated, Nvidia control panel will not work. When it is deactivated everything works as expected.

This all happened after the W10 anniversary update.

Thank you

Hello W10Issues,

I'm sorry we will not be able to help with the NVidia software.
I suggest you contact NVidia suggesting they "update their software to handle the Microsoft Windows 10 Anniversary Update new native Indirect Display feature".

I suspect their application does not understand the new notion of monitors NOT directly connected to the graphics card (aka indirect display). We have had similar issues before Windows 10 Anniversary Update but now it's a proper documented Windows standard so they have to comply.

Kind regards,
Alban

Hi guys,

I’m having the same issue on my MSI WS72 in combination with a Kensington SD3650 docking station. Everything worked fine until the windows 10 anniversary update. I can’t access the Nvidia control panel anymore when both displays are attached via the docking station. The strange thing is, that some CAD applications that make heavy use of the GPU still work fine, but other don’t even start or start with error messages. I have both displays directly plugged in to the notebook at the moment to deal with the problem. But that’s not an ideal solution for sure. Please keep us posted about any update regarding that issue!

Cheers,
Ben
