How can I fix that?

Was a solution ever found to this issue? I'm having the same experience on an iMAC ... switching users causes the extended display to not be recognized which I think is due to the driver not loading.

Is there a way to install the DisplayLink software for 'all users'?

The failure to load happens when switching user accounts and is not specific to which account was logged into on a restart. I with account several times a day for different work projects and restating each time is inconvenient at best, it significantly interferes with work efficiency.

Thanks for any and all suggestions/help!

I installed the login screen extension but also had to disable FileVault. It doesn't work all the time, but it's better now. I guess with FileVault on, the extension couldn't work properly. Unfortunately, the documentation on this tool is very thin...

Sorry to bring up an old thread but has there been a fix to this at all?

I have set up the eventscripts as per a previous poster - but it only runs sometimes and isn't reliable.

I have 2 users on my M2 MBA that we switch between whilst the laptop is in clambshell mode and we have to open display link manually when users are switched
