Detecting External Monitors issue after deleting DisplayLink.

ldg_exe · 10-25-2025, 03:56 AM

Hi, this is my first time using the forums, so hopefully I get my issue across well. Over the past couple months I have been using the displayLink drivers to enable the addition of two external monitors without having to enable clamshell mode on my M3 MacBook Air. Recently, I decided to switch back to having a single external monitor. While having the displayLink Manager enabled the one monitor works, but after uninstalling it, my mac no longer natively detects the other method. I've tried various of the common methods, including ensuring the cable connection is properly attached, restarting the device, restarting the nvram and more.

Additionally, it's important to state that my mac did previously connect with this monitor prior to installing and using displayLink.

My prior two monitors and my current monitor are the Dell 2722DGM and I am on MacOS Tahoe Beta.

Hi ldg_exe,

I'm afraid we won't be able to provide much help unless there is any other user with a similar use case. Here, we tend to discuss and troubleshoot problems in which DisplayLink Manager is installed.

Regards,
Szymon
