Based on your description, you may want to investigate if USB redirection is turned on within the VMware Horizon client for the DisplayLink device. If it is, the VM may be 'grabbing' the device from the host operating system when remote VM starts up. Documentation of the feature is here --> https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Ho...BCA6941E2.html
