Displaylink Core Software vs Graphics Driver

[AlbanRampon]

Hello,

The installer includes two driver architectures so the user or IT manager doesn't have to select what to run.

From Windows 7 until Windows 10 Threshold 2, it uses our classic architecture and you will have the core software with a Windows service, very low level graphics driver...

From Windows 10 Redstone 1 (Anniversary Update), we use a new driver architecture leveraging new OS features. Devices using DisplayLink are listed with graphics adapters so the name used is the same as the other graphics adapter vendors, hence the graphics driver. There is no Windows service anymore, the very low level graphics driver is now part of the OS.

Kind regards,
Alban
