If you give me a bit of time I can check this and at that point is just a matter of making an image out of it and upload it somewhere.

EDIT: yup, found it, it should be .1 or .2 at best. Ripping it right now, will upload somewhere.

EDIT 2: There you go:

Installation image: https://mega.nz/#!Z6gCQSbD!O6ZoaUvLR...4opkVyLQQrTO8Y

Combo update to 10.13.3: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1953
So what do I do if I have already downloaded 10.13.6 and when I download this combo it won't let me install?

you can't use an "update" to go backwards.You would need to back up all your documents, pictures, music, videos, etc, and then wipe your computer, install 10.13.0, then use the combo updater to go up to 10.13.3. You would then need to re-install all your applications and copy any documents, pictures, music and videos that you backed up before you started

I don't think you can go back versions with Combo only, you have to install 10.13.1 first, then run the combo to update to 10.13.3

I am not a pro but here is what I did:

1. I already had 10.12.6 (Sierra)
2. Downloaded 10.13.1 media (it's a .dmg) and double clicked it, which installed it for me (you already have 10.13.6, which means you might need to create bootable USB media for installation if the above will not work).
3. Once completed, I downloaded the combo and installed it in the same way as above.

Let us know how it'd go.

You're basically fucked, like most of us. You can't downgrade unless you want to do what others suggested you: backup all your stuff somewhere safe, format your Mac and install the base High Sierra, disable automatic update and then update to 10.13.3 using the combo updater.

My issue with this is that I've updated several apps and I'm afraid they won't work anymore if I go back to 10.13.3, which means I would have to uninstall them and install them fresh, losing all the settings and stuff in the process, which is a huge time waste and big no-no for me.

You'd better wait for DisplayLink to come up with a properly working driver.

after having the latest updates installed and continually waiting for a solution for over 6 months now... I now have my screens back and running. I do not have airplay so I have had a screen sitting here doing nothing for that amount of time.

donluca you are a god amongst men. thanks for posting those... there is NOTHING in the new updates beyond 10.13.3 that is noticeable for me.


i am happy to remain on this until a solution comes out.. but even so i dont think ill risk updating again after what happened.

Keeping your OS updated is crucial, especially if you do any kind of buying/selling/online banking.

If you just fool around with social networks and read news it's alright (almost) to lag behind updates, but if you do any serious work you're putting yourself at a huge risk.

I do critical work with my Macs and I *must* stay on the latest patches, this is why I hope DL will get a solution out soon.

It's been 7 months, there is zero chance DL is releasing a fix soon, if at all.
