DisplayLink Software - High CPU on MBA

wild4gadgets · 12-16-2019, 02:31 PM

I'm running Catalina with DL 4.3 "GA" drivers and I continue to have issues, including very high CPU (eg DL drivers consuming 100% of one of my CPUs on a pretty constant basis), and as I just discovered, DL drivers are also causing all of my Java apps to crash.

As a result I have removed the DL adapters from my system and am using a Rube Goldberg mix of usb-c display adapters. My system is happily running at 8% CPU and my Java apps are working as well.

As far as my $200 Targus boat anchor? I hope to be able to use it (and the embedded DisplayLink hardware) again someday soon.
