Black screens on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4+ and Mojave 10.14 Early Previews
The driver (DisplayLink Installer 4.1.11) doesn't work anymore withe macOS High Sierra bêta 10.13.4 (17E139) and newer.
Dear DisplayLink macOS users,
We are pleased DisplayLink 5.0.1 driver for macOS enables multiple extended display support on the latest Apple macOS 10.14.2 with additional features (clamshell and clone). We continue our strong support for the Mac platform and are working on delivering future updates with further performance improvements.
Driver 5.0.1: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1257
If your DisplayLink enabled device does not seem to work on 10.14, this is most likely due to the OS blocking our kernel extension. Please ensure our kernel extension is enabled by the OS as described in our FAQ: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1188004
Should you still miss extended displays on latest macOS with latest DisplayLink driver, please create a support ticket so your particular case can be investigated. Here is how: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/755301
Due to changes in 10.13.4-10.13.6, it is not possible to enable DisplayLink extended displays, except one using Apple AirPlay. If your Mac is from 2011 running 10.13.4-10.13.6 and can’t update to macOS 10.14, you should remain with DisplayLink macOS driver v4.3.1 to enable one extended USB display using AirPlay, with additional displays cloned. An FAQ details how to enable Apple AirPlay with DisplayLink display for extend or mirror mode: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1854724
Audio and Ethernet functionality, where supported, stays unaffected in all versions.
We thank you for your feedback on DisplayLink products that helps us further improve our product offering.
Kind regards,
Alban

You do realize that Apple releases their software to developers MONTHS before releasing it to the general public? Does this mean that you don't participate in their developers program, or you were aware of the issue and JUST DIDN"T CARE? Don't blame Apple. Blame your staff. They should have found the issue in a developer release, fixed the driver and had it ready to go.

This is a joke, no solution, no response, Apple has basically rendered your company useless and you have nothing to say to your customers

We need a clear time line of your progress here. This is unacceptable.

Can you give us clear guideline and say you cannot fix this issue, then we can get on without lives and buy new hardware. Else i am checking this site every day at the moment.

Has anyone find a solution for a Mac Mini 2012 with third monitor? I think it has TB1 not TB2. I'm on 10.13.3 now running 1 HDMI, 1TB to HDMI, 1 USBtoHDMI displaylink device.
With a solution I mean some device to buy :)
Thanks in advance guys.

A lot of your client have thrust in your company but if you can't give a solutions for this update soon your products will not be sold to this group again.. A software company who can't fix their software problems.. Not really trustworthy.

Is there any update please - this is such a huge inconvenience and I was not aware of this until after the upgrade and boom my screen was blank. Cloning is of no use whatsoever. Has anyone come up with an alternative solution themselves. Is there another download with another company to allow use of tow screens? Thank you

Just to help with this issue:
- USB C to DP can be connected with a cable
- USB C to HDMI needs an adapter
- TB 2 to Dual DP does not exists
- TB 3 to Dual DP works
- DP to Dual DP needs MST protocol and Apple does not support itHope be helpful

Guys. Relax. The reason hat DisplayLink hasn't been keeping its customers apprised of the development of a solution is because **there is no solution**.

This is a serious issue hurting many people's productivity level. Something like this should never happen. You should have beta testers for every OS to ensure issues like this is resolved beforehand. Most people will not know of this issue until after they've updated, then it's too late. It's also a shame that MAC OS doesn't have a simple rollback option like Windows does. I've waited weeks for a fix and still nothing, just a "hope this helps" mirroring driver that is useless. now I'm forced to spend hundreds again to remedy this situation in my company. It's a shame.

Is there an update on this? It looks like it's been around for a while. Now that I've updated to 10.13.4 my DisplayLink is basically garbage.
