Displaylink 8.0 and Windows Anniversary limitation

tshinder · 08-01-2016, 12:49 AM

Had Displaylink working great prior to upgrade to Win10 Ann. edition. Now can only get one of the monitors to work. If I plug in a second USB monitor , it disables one of the DVI monitors and forces all monitors to mirror each other. Used the cleanup tool and reinstalled, but didn't fix. Very sad

Never heard of that.
But it's not up to DisplayLink driver to decide the layout. This is a Windows feature and we would fail driver qualification if we were interfering with it.

Could you have a look at the Windows Display Panel (right click on the desktop, then click on screen resolution). Can you change to Extend?
