CPU priority of Displaylink's driver process should be set Higher
Whatever [DisplayLinkManager.exe] or [WUDFHost.exe], when the driver starts it should be set the priority at least to [Above normal], it is really helpful for fixing the laggy problem. Now I only can do it maunally.

DisplayLink Manager app auto-start on MacOS 10.15.7
I have been trying to get the new 1.2 display link graphics driver to work with my MBP Catalina10.5.7 and my Asus MB168+ monitor. I stumbled over the fact that it doesn't seem to auto open the driver unless you manually open it in Applications. Might be worth looking at ?

Windows 10 with 7.9M3 (Yoga 900)
When windows 10 with 7.9M3 on a yoga 900 goes to sleep and is connected to the dock, it doesn't come back.
Also, if I unplug the dock when the laptop sleeps, when I wake it up nothing works anymore.

Audio/Video profiles and shortcuts.
It would be helpful to have keyboard shortcuts for specific display profiles. I connected my dock to multiple monitors and would like to change the profiles as need. Everything has be done through menus now. When you have multiple settings to change, its cumbersome.
1 voteThis should already be possible using 3rd party monitor management tools, for example Actual Multiple Monitors, which is available from our website:

DisplayLinkManager.exe priority should start High, not Normal
On my Windows 7 x64 computer, in times of heavy CPU usage, the mouse cursor becomes extremely choppy. This is because DisplayLinkManager's priority is the same as that of the process using all the CPU time.
I have found that if I set DisplayLinkManager.exe to High priority, the mouse cursor remains mostly smooth. Please consider defaulting DisplayLinkManager.exe priority to High at startup. This is an easy change in code and would solve one big irritation with this product.

Save and restore windows position after a crash
The display link driver crash sometimes. And all the running apps are displayed on the primary monitor.
It's a pain in th a** to move them agin to the others monitors again and again.1 voteI wish we could do that. DisplayLink driver doesn’t have the notion of what a window is. We get pixels and we display them. The window position is part of the window desktop manager (WDM) in the OS. You can find third party apps which constantly look at specific window title and position to stick them in specific locations.

Repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting (STILL)
I'm running an ASUS ROG G56jk-EB72 Gaming Laptop with the latest version of Windows 10 (As of 11/12/2015) 64-Bit. CPU: Intel (R) HD Graphics 4600 & GPU: Nvidea GeForce GTX 850M. Trying to project onto two additional Insignia displays using two Targus USB 3.0 to HDMI HDTV Video Adapter. So I spent about $300 for the displays and $160 on the video adapters and this doesn't even work. I am beyond frustrated. All of my drivers are up to date. I followed the steps as instructed by the troubleshooting page; "How to fix your DisplayLink product from…

Add features to DisplayLink Manager (Mac OS; poss. others)
Let's turn the screen real-estate from the DisplayLink Manager (DLM) into something more useful:
1) Add display of DLM version number.
2) Add access to DLM logs or trouble-shooting tools.
3) Add unicorns and rainbows. (Catch-all for any content you'd like.)1 vote -

Review ChromeOS update 86 (Chromebook Operating System)
I have 3 different USB universal docks (Lenovo,IBM,Targus) and displays stopped working with the latest release of ChromeOS 86 on my Acer 714 Chhromebook. They all use DisplayLink.

Avoid boot time stall due to udev rules
The script deployed by the displaylink installer at /opt/displaylink/udev.sh is triggered by udev rules and will run:
systemctl start displaylink-driver
Under certain conditions this will trigger "udevadm settle" to block forever as it leaved processes left and can't return.
I found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/51760/commits/c72bb28b9cb5138d39647f8fa12394443fea682d which fixes the issue for them.
Applying the same to /opt/displaylink/udev.sh in Ubuntu 20.04 works just fine, the boot is fast again and functionality had no negative impact.So please could you change this line in your code to be like:
systemctl start --no-block displaylink-driver10 votes -
Automatic Refresh Rate Optimization for Multi-Monitor Setups
I’d love to see a feature that allows DisplayLink to automatically detect and optimize refresh rates for each connected display. This would make multi-monitor setups smoother, reduce screen tearing, and improve overall performance — especially for users who switch between work and gaming environments.

Convert OS Sleep/Standby to HDMI CEC
Can you map the OS display standby, sleep & wake state commands to HDMI CEC? Would be great if my UHD TV would turn off when OS sleeps or shuts down, automatically turn on when OS wakes up.
As it is, my Samsung UHD TV turns off shortly after OS enters sleep mode. I've enabled CEC, so the HDMI port stays active & OS sees monitor is still available. When OS wakes, its "turn on display" signal doesn't reach the TV. I use TV remote control to turn on the screen.
1 voteNice idea, but the DisplayLink ICs available today do not currently support CEC, therefore it will not be possible to enable this.

Please use versioning format x.x.xx instead of x.x (xx)
We are trying to automate software updates and track inventory of DisplayLink drivers in our macOS environment. Trying to parse versions when the value reports as
4.1 (11)orDisplayLink Driver 4.1.11 - Copyright 2003...makes it difficult.In the driver Info.plist file, please set the
CFBundleShortVersionStringkey in the x.x.xx format. Even better, clean up theCFBundleGetInfoString8 votes -
Enable visual accessibility settings for partially sighted users
Both Windows & macOS have tools for applying colour filters to a screen to enable partially sighted users better access to these devices.
These settings are enforced on monitors directly connected to theses devices and were previously supported on prior versions of DisplayLink when using a Mac but are not working currently.
Is there a plan to leverage the built-in OS tools to enable this in the future?
