Disable the launching of control.exe on new device detection on Windows 7

[willn]

Apologies for asking support on an old version, we are hesitant to upgrade as we have a stable embedded system where updating drivers introduces considerable risk.

Does this behaviour occur in newer versions?

I have tried removing the Launch value entirely, but it made no difference. I also tried replacing the string "WDP" with "URL" (based on an error string in the DisplayLinkUI.exe binary it seemed like it might be a valid option.)

Kind regards,

Will

Hello Will,

That's totally fine, it's more the Windows 7 we see much less of now and the driver architecture is radically different.

I need to find an engineer who's been here a while to understand the functionality and options.
Judging by other keys, maybe the value false works, but that's a shot in the dark until I get someone who knows or can look at the code.

Kind regards,
Alban

Hello Will,

Looking into more details a colleague has advised me to delete the full folder (OnNewDevice ) instead.
Removing only one key is likely to mean the default values will be used.

Kind regards,
Alban
