macOS: Your screens have been stopped by the system message
If you encounter the message “Your screens have been stopped by the system” and your screens go black, it means macOS has stopped DisplayLink screens due to low disk space on the startup disk where the system resides.

If available space drops below this threshold, macOS may terminate the DisplayLink process, which is required to stream pixels to your screens.
