Question Screen Flashing with Windows 8.1 RTM and DisplayLink 7.4M0

I just upgraded my Dell XPS 15 laptop to Windows 8.1 RTM and my screens all flicker with the DisplayLink 7.4M0 drivers. I used the DisplayLink support tool from this page http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=269 and have attached the zip file from the tool for your reference. Thanks and hope we can get this resolved so I can continue to use the docking station.

FYI -- This set up did work when the laptop had Windows 8 Pro installed. The problem occurred when the laptop was updated to Windows 8.1.

Hi,

I've raised this internally for further investigation.

Thanks,
James

I'm experiencing the same issue with 8.1. Running the latest/greatest drivers. I have a surface pro.

Hi,

This should be fixed in the next release.

Thanks,

James,

I have a similar issue (my laptop screen flashes whereas the second screen displays nothing) I'm running 8.1 and DisplayLink 7.4 on a Lenovo Carbon X1. Any idea when that next release is coming please? Is there a notification I can subscribe to?

Thanks.

Hi,

This is fixed in the next release due out to coincide with the release of Windows 8.1.

Thanks,
James

Hi,

I think R7.4 M2 should fix this.

Can you try it out?

Thanks,
James
