Displaylink Drivers Windows 10
Nov 14, 2014 I cannot get the video portion of my Helix dock station (DisplayLink) to work -- I did install the DisplayLink Core Software from Windows update. The DisplayLink software uses the new native DisplayLink USB graphics support on Windows 10 Anniversary update 2016 onwards to provide a forward compatibility with Windows. There is no change to Windows 10 Threshold and earlier OS versions. The table summarises the DisplayLink driver compatibility: V8.0 or later will be installed.
Today released their new Windows Drivers, Version 7.9 M3 (7.9.630.0). Fleet Maintenance Pro Version 12 Serial. We’re excited to have this new driver set out, as it fixes various Windows 10 issues. All of Plugable’s USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 docking stations and graphics adapters will work with this new driver. We are recommending that all users update to this version of the DisplayLink driver at this time, as this new version includes a preemptive fix for a compatibility break with coming versions of Intel and Graphics drivers.
We’re expecting that will also make this same available via Windows Update as a high-priority update on October 27th. In short, if the newer / Nvidia drivers are installed without first upgrading the DisplayLink drivers to 7.9 M3 or later, DisplayLink functionality will break until the DisplayLink driver is upgraded. The best solution is to upgrade the DisplayLink drivers first, as they’re compatible with both the old and new versions of the Intel / Nvidia graphics drivers.
In detail, DisplayLink’s release notes list these issues fixed in 7.9 M3: • The DisplayLink device could remain in device manager for up to 30 seconds after disconnecting the USB cable. This problem was only visible on Windows 7 with an Intel USB 3.0 host controller.
