Lenovo X230t with Window 8
Intel HD 4000 Graphics (latest drivers installed)
Lenovo USB3.0 dock
DisplayLink Drivers updated to 7.1

These started not working after install of DisplayLink


Window 8 Metro/Store apps:
Camera
OneNote
Netflix
Hulu+
Craigslist 8X
Zinio
There are several others that after discovering they will not work I immediately uninstalled.

Desktop Applications:
Steam games like Alien Swarm, Arctic Combat, Star Trek online

If there are any on the list that you would like log information, please let me know.

The main question I have at this point is why do they continue not to function when the laptop is not plugged into the dock, or the services are manually stopped. Is there a way to bypass display link or disable it when I want to use these programs and don't need the multi-monitor support at work until you get a final fix for this?

Thanks

In what way did they "not work"? Is it that they just show a blue/blank screen or was it something else? Video playback apps is a problem with protected content apps, which is more complex to fix.

If it's blue or blank screens, then this should be fixed in the next release in a few weeks.
