Did you follow the guide

What use to be plug and play is now jump through hoops, not very user friendly. 1080p looks hideous on my 25" screen. Its progress DL but you have a way to go yet to get this fixed.

Thanks you,

I did follow the instructions, Airplay doens't show in the menu bar, so went through "system preferences" connected to the Displaylink.
-Shows three monitors available for a few seconds, I can then only access the main one
then disconnects itself and I go back to clone.

Any suggestions?

i get clone mode, but my Clamshell'ed macbook with a displayport monitor and displaylink monitor only shows my appleTV as an airplay device. I dont get any security request or accessibility option in S&P either.
thoughts?

Hey! apparently Unplugging the displaylink was all it needed. as soon as I did, it popped up the displaylink agent, and then a few click, and boom, extended screen
Im back baby! only 3 months later!

OK! That solved my problem as well to get it to finally pop-up as a choice. Unplug and re-plug the display link adaptor.

Just reporting that 10.13.5 Beta 4 does not restore original functionality. Workaround is effective though.

It won't. Apple purposely closed off the way DL was working as it was considered a security risk that could also be exploited in a negative way so they are not going to roll back the change.

That's interesting. Can you please elaborate further or provide a source?

It does say that in the enablement instructions

Go to the Security & Privacy settings -> Privacy and then unplug your DisplayLink enabled device.
