Summary: Windows 10 Anniversary Update includes native support for DisplayLink technology and will automatically install the proper DisplayLink drivers for most users. If this process does not proceed as expected,.
Update 8/18/2016 – On a system with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update and a DisplayLink device, the ‘Duplicate’ or clone mode may not be available within the Display Settings application. This is caused by the use of a driver for the system’s internal graphics adapter that is not Windows 10 native and does not support the WDDM 2.0 standard, or more specifically Desktop Window Manager (DWM) clone mode. More information is available from DisplayLink Update 8/10/2016 – The limitation referenced in our 8/4 update has been removed with the latest 8.0 M1 release of the DisplayLink driver, and the download links have been updated. Update 8/5/2016 – DisplayLink has posted a knowledge base article with more information about the changes the Windows Anniversary Update brings ->Update 8/4/2016 – There is a limitation with the current 8.0 M0 release of the DisplayLink driver that in some instances can prevent more than four DisplayLink attached monitors from working as expected. This limitation is expected to be addressed in the next release of the DisplayLink driver, which is currently expected to be released mid-August. Please email us at with any additional questions. On July 29th, 2015 Microsoft released Windows 10 as a free upgrade for home users of Windows 7 and 8.1.
With any operating system update there are changes in behavior and new things to learn. With regard to our USB docking stations and USB graphics adapters we documented those findings in one of our blog posts here ->While many of the issues documented in our old post have been resolved, time has passed and Windows 10 turned one year old on July 29th 2016.
To celebrate the occasion Microsoft will be releasing a large update known as the ‘Anniversary Update’ to the operating system on August 2nd. Microsoft provides more details here ->but in general the update continues Microsoft’s approach to providing continual Windows 10 updates as a service rather than separate product updates as they did with previous versions of Windows. What’s New The Anniversary Update will add features and bug fixes, but the most exciting aspect from Plugable’s perspective is the inclusion of native support for DisplayLink technology. Why the excitement? Native Windows support for DisplayLink offers a multitude of benefits for users including simplified device installation, improved performance, and reduced system resource usage. With the latest release, Microsoft has integrated native support for DisplayLink USB video devices into the operating system so our USB video adapters and docking stations are considered standard Display Adapters within Device Manager (previously they were in a unique class, “USB Video Adapter”).
Beyond the benefits mentioned above, it certainly helps to have the substantial software engineering resources of Microsoft providing support for the code making everything work behind the scenes enabling USB graphics devices to function more like traditional graphics adapters and in some cases work in some specific scenarios where they would not have previously. Driver Installation Details When installing a Plugable USB graphics adapter or docking station for the first time on a system with the Anniversary Update already installed, Windows Update should automatically download and install the appropriate DisplayLink driver, version 8.0.
If for some reason that does not happen (for example no internet access being available) our best practice for installing and using our adapters and docking stations is as follows: 1. Before connecting the product, download and install the DisplayLink driver from here ->2. Once the installation is complete, connect the product and your additional displays should become active If you’re already a user of one of our docks or video adapters, our testing with Insider Preview builds (the method Microsoft uses to test updates before release) has shown that in most cases the system is updated things ‘just work’ as expected. It is important to note that If the system already has a version of the DisplayLink driver 7.9 or older installed, the older driver will be removed automatically and be replaced with latest 8.0 version.
In the cases where USB graphics aren’t working as expected after installing the Anniversary Edition update, the best practice is as follows: 1. Disconnect your USB video adapter or USB docking station (if using a docking station please also disconnect the power adapter) 2. Uninstall the ‘DisplayLink Core’ software package via the Control Panel and then Programs and Features. This will also uninstall the ‘DisplayLink Graphics’ component if present 3. Download and run the DisplayLink Installation Cleaner from here ->4.
Reboot the system, even if not prompted 5. Download and install the DisplayLink driver from here ->6.
Reconnect your docking station (after reconnecting the power) or USB video adapter and your displays should become active At this time the DisplayLink driver is not integrated into the operating system installation image so for the time being the driver will have to be installed via Windows Update or manually installed if Windows Update does not work. Our hope is that in the future the DisplayLink driver will be ‘baked in’ to Windows itself so that a fresh installation of Windows will work with our USB video adapters and docks without requiring a download or manual installation. In conclusion, Microsoft has taken the great step in bringing parity to USB graphics support within Windows itself. While in most cases things should ‘just work’ as with any major update to an operating system things may not go as expected.

Issues We will also be updating this post with any relevant issues we are tracking once the Anniversary Update has been released to the public. Please check back often as we add additional details. Hi Terri-Lyn, Thanks for adding to the discussion, and appreciate the kind words about our products! There should not be a difference in behavior of the Ethernet adapters between the two units from a hardware perspective, and that releasing and renewing the IP address helps may indicate that the source of the problem is ‘upstream’ from the dock. One thing to double-check is that the Ethernet cable itself is not the cause by swapping in a new cable (in many cases sporadic connection issues can be traced back to the cable itself).
If swapping the cable does not help and if you have not already, please follow the steps above in this post to perform a ‘clean’ install of the latest DisplayLink driver to help ensure it is in a good state (in Katherine’s case that helped get things working properly). If that does still not help, please send one of our PlugDebug files () to and that will help us determine the next steps. Thank you, Bob Plugable Technologies • Terri-Lyn. Reelsmart Motion Blur Nuke Crack. The USB ports in our docking station function as a standard USB hub using the USB drivers built-in to Windows, so the DisplayLink driver can’t have any effect on the behavior of USB devices. A quick Google shows some reporting this type of behavior even when not using Plugable products, so the issue may be a problem with Windows itself (some have suggested disabling the Game DVR feature in the Xbox App included in Windows 10 as a solution to similar symptoms).
To help rule out any other factors that could be causing the problem, please send the output of our PlugDebug utility ->to and we will go form there • Niels. I am getting the same mouse and keyboard stuttering that Niels described. It is still present after uninstalling and reinstalling the 8.0 M1 driver several times. However, in each reinstall it never did do a “first connect” or whatever it is called, so I am going to go at it again by trying the removal tool. If you have any suggestion to that end please let me know. “Windows Driver Foundation” – WUDFHost.exe – appears to have something to do with the stuttering. The more there is happening (video, cursor movement, etc.) the more lag appears.
It is not a constant stutter, but it is frequent and oh so aggravating. I’ll send in a plugdebug soon as well.
If I find a fix I’ll also reply here. • Bob Boerner. I am using Extend mode. One of the two monitors is set to be the primary display and the laptop display is disconnected in the setup. Since my last post here I went on a trial of uninstalling, using the cleaner tool, reinstalling, etc., and found that the older 7.9 M7 driver seems to work well. After using the cleaner tool the 8.0 M1 driver is a little less laggy, but plenty enough to be quite annoying. One (strange) way to duplicate this: Have the task manager open with CPU usage in descending order, and watch the Windows Driver Foundation usage while repeatedly tapping the Windows key.
My usage goes up to around 20% easily and I’ll see very obvious mouse stuttering. Funny that you mention that topic over at DisplayLink’s site.
User “VON” is me:). I found that topic after posting here. I am going to reply there again as well. I’ve been dealing with the monitor refresh rate issue (mouse stuttering, etc.) after the latest windows 10 update using a plugable usb 2.0 to vga adapter on 3 different PCs.
I’ve gone through the steps of uninstalling the driver & using the displaylink install cleaner and reinstalling the driver before plugging the device back in and had no luck. I’ve also tried usb 3.0, changed the power & performance settings, and even tried a clean boot. Nothing has been working and it’s driving me a little bonkers. I’m looking forward to seeing how this issue pans out for other people because I’m completely out of ideas by this point. Thanks by the way for your active support!
• Bob Boerner. Hi Nick, Thanks for posting, and you are of course very welcome. I’m glad you found my post useful even though the problematic behavior remains.
DisplayLink (the maker of the chip in your adapter and author of the drivers) have been tracking the behavior you describe in one of their own forum threads here ->That thread is long but the take away is that a coming update from Microsoft may help with the issue. If you need any additional assistance please be sure to email us at (along with one of our PlugDebug files ->) and we will be happy to help! Thank you, Bob Plugable Technologies • Jay Monahan. Not sure if this will be the right place for this but will be attempting to deploy out LTSB 2016 to our end users. I am one of the guinea pigs and have a Dell D3100 USB 3.0 docking station.
It auto recognized, keyboard, mouse, ethernet and sound all work fine. The issue that I have is that the display settings keep resetting. When I plug the docking station all three of my external monitors the settings that I had set previous to taking off are all gone. The laptop screen is active (even though the cover is closed), and the three monitors are all in a line. The order and number designation of the monitors changes each time i disconnect and reconnect.
Additionally the lock screen is usually on the laptop which is closed so I have to redo my display setting each time. When I was on Windows 10 v1511 I had no issues but only had these issues once I re-imaged to LTSB 2016. • Gary Zeller.
