   The change is needed in the operating system kernel mode graphics driver. Microsoft is looking into scheduling this development. In the meantime, provided you have purchased a platform allowing you to, the workaround is to disable the low end GPU so Windows uses the only one left. Today, Windows will always use the POST graphics card.

   Ever since WIndows 10 Anniversary (which I backed out of) and WIndows 10 "Creators" Updates (which I stupidly installed thinking "Hey, I am a creator with AutoCAD, Revit, HitFilm, Shotcut, Davinci, etc" ... I have floated between reinstalling Nvidia drivers, DisplayLink drivers, and all sorts of other system tweeks.

   It boils down to everything works just fine ... UNTIL ... you introduce the previously wonderful Dell D3100 Hub with DisplayLink as it's main driver. Go mobile on the laptop and its back to good. Dock at home office and want to use your Two Bigger 24" monitors via the Dell D3100 DisplayLink ... all CAD and Video goes back into SUCK mode.

   It is your product DisplayLink. Microsoft and Dell are the bigger boys. Better get over there and tell them to fix what you need fixed in a manner that works. Most of us are doing this to have mobility but also a big screen in the office.

   The pathetic Intel on board graphics chip is not capable of running much on two large screens ... practically nothing before it craps.

   We need to be able to set DisplayLink to use the dedicated graphics GPU. It is DisplayLink that appears to be blocking the Dedicated GPU from running at all and forcing us into using the weak on board graphics chip.

   Dell Inspiron 7559. Windows 10 with Creator Update 1703 64-Bit. Intel Core i7-6700HP 2.60GHz. 16.0 GB Ram. Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M with 4.0gb dedicated graphics memory.

   PS: Tell Microsoft the STUPID "settings" vs "control panel" arrangement is a disaster. Just stick to what works ... CONTROL PANEL. The Settings interface is just a roadblock to what we really need.

   Make it happen DisplayLink. Redstone NOW, not Restone 4 or later!!!
