I manage a large Windows 10 client environment, and keeping drivers up to date is a key priority for us. Ideally, I’d like DisplayLink (DL) drivers to update automatically—whether or not a dock is currently connected. stickman hook

From what I understand, this isn’t the current behavior. When a computer connects to a DL dock, the driver activates automatically, and if Windows Update is allowed to handle driver updates, it will install a newer version when available.

However, I’d prefer an option to schedule automatic driver checks and updates independently of Windows Update—perhaps daily, weekly, or monthly—so that systems remain up to date even when docks aren’t connected.

Additionally, I’d like clarification on what happens if the registry value under
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\DisplayLink\Products\AutomaticUpdates
is changed from “no” to “yes.” Does this fully enable background driver updates?

Any insights or official guidance on this would be appreciated.
