Display link software causing TaskBar (Start,Cortana,edge) to crash

[robmc5]

Paul, thanksfor the suggestion.... I tried that, I actually deleted the files -

dlumdfb9.dll
dlumdfb10.dll
dlumdfb11.dll

Rebooted and tried calculator....same error.

Activation of app Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

Did you check to see if they are actually gone? After I restarted the dlls had been restored. I haven't had a chance to go any further with this yet as it's a work machine, and I have work to do .

The .dll's were gone but as soon as I installed the Display Link drivers they were back.

I typed a reply to this thread but it seems to have been lost somehow.

Regardless, what you've seen with the deleted dlls returning is expected. We've done a bit more investigating here and it seems this is not the cause of this issue so I suggest there's no need to delete/rename these dlls to see if it helps.

More when we have it...

Thanks for the update, we are starting to get clients that we have installed the Display Link adapters at their location that are upgrading and having the same problem.

As a workaround, can you please try killing the process named ApplicationFrameHost.exe

This may temporarily fix the problem, although it might come back later.

Please let us know whether this works for you.

Thanks,

Did not work for me. Killed ApplicationFrameHost.exe but still no response from start menu etc. Also when launching an app like edge or calculator ApplicationFrameHost.exe restarts.

Thanks for your efforts though.
