Spyder calabration effected by M8 at well

My wife uses a monitor via a docker . Since the windows update and M8 she gets an error when just using the attached display i.e the laptop disabled. Datacolor have been most unhelpful saying context the monitor direct to the laptop and they don't support using dockers. " this issue is related to your computer configuration and NOT to the Spyder.
As already mentioned, make sure to directly connect the monitor, than try again."
I take it the windows changes are whats effecting it, no problem before, is there any chance of the current generation of chips/software working as they used to or are dockers going to have long term problems thanks to MS?

There are two problems, the error may well be an old one that Datacolor and MS haven't sorted after many years. The second, which may well have caused the error is its twin graphics laptop. With Intel on the mother board and a Nvdia second one. After the W10 update only the Intell chip is working through the Docker when the laptop screen is off but the desk top one is being used. As far as I know both used to work as some of the graphics programs are setup to use it,. They are running but using the Intel one, I expect they are also not using the graphics memory either!

I take it if I am right this is going to be something only MS can sort out which means it never is likely to be done.
