1. Main display taskbar setting issues with surface pro3

   On my surface pro 3/win10 with a toshiba dynadock the right side of the taskbar (notifications/time/etc) always has it displaying on the surface pro3 screen even tho when i go into display settings it shows that one of my external monitors is the main display.

   If I make the surface screen the main screen and then switch it back to an external screen then the external screen will have the correct taskbar functions.

   If I change it to another external display then that display will not display it correctly and if i switch it back to the original main one it still doesn't show correctly, so the key fix is to switch it back to the surface screen and then it will function ok from there no matter what screen you choose

   Having investigated this, it looks to be specific to Windows on the SP3.

   DisplayLink drivers and software make no changes to the position of the task bar. The OS certainly thinks that the DisplayLink display is the primary monitor, but does not always move the task bar to reflect this.

   There is nothing DisplayLink can do to change this behaviour.

2. Support for Target Display Mode (i.e. using an iMAC as a monitor)

   An iMAC can be used as an external monitor using Target Display Mode. Is it possible to get a DisplayLink dock to enable TDM when iMAC is plugged to the dock (i.e. using a Tunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable)?

   For example, I have a MAC Book Pro 13inch (2016) and an iMAC 27inch (2012). I use iMac as an external monitor using TDM with MacBook Pro (using a Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C cable) as described on https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh30822/mac

   I also have a Dell DA300 displaylink dock. Using Tunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable to connect iMAC to dock and USB-C from dock to MacBook Pro does not get iMAC display to switch to Macbook Pro.

3. DisplayLink is lagging on Macos Sonoma

   As soon as I connect my single 1080p display to my M1 Mac the whole system starts to lag, the mouse, the animations and the funny thing is that this is not only on the extended display but on both. Plus one thing that I noticed is that if I shut the lid of my mac and only use the external display the system is smooth again. I think an M1 Air should at minimum handle a 4k extended display.

   Note: I have tried the Alpha build for the manager and it's still awful.

   1.10 Alpha 2 is now available on the website to correct this on macOS Sonoma advanced beta. Please use any release from 1.10 Alpha 2 onwards.

4. Work on compatibility w/ Ableton Live 10 (current version crashes Live)

   I'm running MacOS 10.13.3 (downgraded from 10.13.4 for reasons that I'm sure you know) on a MacBook Air (13-Inch Mid 2011, 1.8Ghz Core i7, 4 GB RAM) and whenever I have any of your latest (e.g. most recent final releases, two most recent "Betas" to fix the issue with MacOS 10.13.4) it causes Ableton Live 10 (10.0.1) to not load/run.

   The main reason that my computer system and I have a DisplayLink in my environment is for making music. I use the two screen setup while working with Live to have my AU and VST plugins visible while tracking. Without this software in place my second display is essentially a paperweight.

   It'd be great if you could test later releases with Live 10 so this is actually usable for me.

   I've verified that it's the DisplayLink software by installing and uninstalling the software and being able to successful replicate the problem as expected.

   Please let me know if you would like any logs.

5. DisplayLink Support for iPad under Sideloading with iPad0S 18

   Under iPad OS 18 apple promised according to the new EU law to open up iPad OS 18 for sideloading.
   Therefore it would be possible to provide alternative software circumventing the rough restrictions of the app store.
   To sum up: It should be possible to download a display link driver over a 3rd party app store on iPad.
   iPads than would support dual display via display link which would be a feature i absolutely love - and need-

6. Support of proprietary NVIDIA driver

   On my Ubuntu 20.04, Thinkbook 16p 2Gen, ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C+USB-A Dock combination, DisplayLink driver 5.5.Beta works at least for a hdmi 2560x1440 display together with the proprietary NVIDIA driver version 510.47.03.
   Setting the displays via the kde control panel was not so easy and robust ... with "nvidia-settings" impossible.

   It's okay for me now. So, many thanks for the driver. :-)

   Displaylink driver 5.4.1 did not work at all.

   Is it a coincidence or luck that 5.5.Beta works with the proprietary NVIDIA driver?

   Is an update to DisplayLink Release: 5.5, Mar 9, 2022 a risk?

8. Enable Using AirPlay, for macOS 10.12.+ Siera Just like is being done on High Siera and Mojave

   I am a video deejay using a Macbook that has a failed GPU so i currently rely on one of your devices to connect to an external display.I upgraded to Mac OS High sierra and realized that my display link driver works differently(blue airplay icon) and i have much better performance now(faster frame rates with mix-emergency & Serato ,transparency on the dock And task bar),thank you for that .But The problem is Mac Os High Sierra is Just too Unstable right now for example due to the failed GPU i have completely disabled it but because of that my laptop does not sleep when l close the lid also when it sleeps it cannot wake the screen when i wake it up also i cannot control the screen brightness worst of all i have experienced 3 complete unrecoverable Os crushes in the past two weeks since finally upgrading to high sierra from mac OS sierra so i`ve reinstalled mac OS sierra and my computer works just fine now but im back to the older functioning display link driver that has better resolution on my external display running natively in 1360*768 resolution but has much much lower frame rates on both mix emergency and virtual DJ video output because it doesn't work like the air play one on high sierra .

   so my suggestion is that you please implement the same airplay idea on high sierra it works much better

   my current display link hardware is a USB 2.0 to dvi ,hdmi and vga (USB 2.0 UGA 17)

10. Please Add an Option to Disable or Customize the DisplayLink On-Screen Display (OSD)

    I would like to request a new feature regarding the on-screen display (OSD) messages that appear when connecting or disconnecting DisplayLink devices. These pop-ups can be distracting, especially during presentations, screen recordings, or when switching between workspaces.

    Details / Concerns:

    Could you please add an option in the DisplayLink Manager to disable the OSD notifications entirely?

    Alternatively, the ability to customize the OSD (position, transparency, duration, or size) would be extremely helpful.

    Many users find the current OSD intrusive, and having control over it would significantly improve the user experience.

    This feature would benefit professionals who require a clean visual environment while working.

    Is this something the DisplayLink team could consider for a future update?

    Thank you for your time and continued improvements to DisplayLink software! Contact me via Geometry Dash!

11. ICC support on BigSur and Intel macs

    As of now there's a littl quirk in the way DL manages screens and icc profiles. On my M1 11.6 macOS my screens are detected in ColorSync. Thus I can use ICC profiles for calibration. On my work intel 11.6 macOS the screens are not detected. This is weird considering that DisplayLink caters to the "pro" community. As of now I have o idead what profile my INTEL is using thus making my color critical work laptop slightly useless.

    But, why is the M1 seeing them? I would expect that this would be a problem on M1s not INTEL.

12. Please add a monitor rescan/refresh option

    Sometimes the only way to refresh/rescan connected monitors is to quit displaylink and reopen it. A refresh/rescan menu choice inside of display link menu would be better (Display link 1.2 later MAC OS M1 macs).

    New to the world of Mac, as I bought the Mac Mini M4 yesterday.

    I've connected it to my 'ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock', which is connected to two Dell screens with an hdmi cable and a display port cable. I've installed the Synaptics Displaylink app as well as the Login Screen extension, but I still get no image until I've logged in geometry dash lite. Is anyone experiencing the same?

15. Linux kernel version 4 unsupported.

    Just tried building the displaylink driver using the displaylink-installer.sh on my Fedora Rawhide machine and look at the results!

    ./displaylink-installer.sh -?
    DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: -?
    Distribution discovered: "Fedora release 24 (Rawhide)"
    Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.2.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc24.x86_64 is too old. At least 3.14 is required.
    This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

    Hmm, 4 is older than 3!?!? Who Knew?!?! Need to fix the script.

    This should now be fixed in the latest Ubuntu release

16. Fix DisplayLinkManager and driver before it damages my MacBook

    Mojave 10.14.6 with latest DisplayLink driver 5.2 on 2014 MacBook Air. Display is displaying correctly on Dell U2412M 1920x1200 display.

    BUT ...

    DisplayLinkManager is hogging between 70% and 150% of CPU. Macbook fan is going crazy. Just a couple of static web pages on screen, no background tasks. Restarting MacBook sometimes fixes the issue, sometimes not.

    This is not functional software, severely degrades MacBook performance, and can even DAMAGE the MacBook.

17. What Is DisplayLink Technology Used For?

    DisplayLink technology is used to connect multiple external displays to a computer through USB, allowing users to extend or mirror their screen without needing additional video ports. It is commonly used with docking stations, USB adapters, and monitors to support multi-monitor setups on laptops and desktops. DisplayLink is especially popular in office, remote work, and productivity environments because it enables easy workspace expansion with high-resolution displays using a simple plug-and-play solution.

19. Option to enable automatic DisplayLink driver updates regardless of dock connection status

    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.

20. Advanced USB DisplayLink deployment with mixed GPU environments (Intel + NVIDIA + DisplayLink) – driver conflicts and performance tuning

    Hello DisplayLink Support team,
    I am deploying a DisplayLink-based docking station system for a large enterprise environment (approximately 300+ users) using laptops with mixed GPUs (Intel iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU).
    During the deployment, I encountered complex issues related to:
    Driver conflicts:
    When the laptop switches between Intel and NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., when turning on/off the dGPU or changing performance modes), DisplayLink monitors sometimes lose signal or flicker for 1–2 seconds.
    Some docking devices (Dell D6000, Targus DOCK190) require DisplayLink Manager and NVIDIA Control Panel to be installed in parallel, but after updating the GPU driver, the video performance dropped dramatically.
    Best Regard, Geometry Dash
