I cannot use my Brydge Dock anymore, as this requires a closed lid. In Catalina the MacBook remained powered on in the dock while Display Link was active and connected.

Appreciate your help.

According to DisplayLink, closed-display mode (also known as 'clamshell' mode) is not supported when using the DisplayLink Manager App. They speak to this directly in the 'Limitations' section of their knowledgebase article here --> https://support.displaylink.com/know...in#limitations
