DisplayLink Not Working Properly with MacBook Pro – External Displays Only After Login
Hi all,
I’m having an issue with DisplayLink on my MacBook Pro (M3) when connected through a docking station. I’ve installed DisplayLink Manager and granted the required permissions (e.g., Screen Recording), but my external monitors only start working after I log into macOS — there’s no display at the login screen.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is there a setting or workaround to get the external displays to show from boot/login screen, or does this require a driver update from DisplayLink? Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks in advance!

This is a limitation of macOS if FileVault is enabled. Follow this article to disable FileVault and then login screen will appear on the external display:
