Troubleshooting
We recommend following these guidelines as a best practice.
Ensure installation isn't blocked by a corporate firewall
If your firewall blocks the installation of this driver, corporate users should contact their
systems administrator and have them allow this driver under their corporate installation
standard procedures (MSI Installer), available for download from DisplayLink's website.
Individual users should ensure that suggestions to update other drivers are followed. This
typically includes updating the laptop graphics and USB drivers to the latest version.
Updating the host graphics drivers to the latest version: For Windows 7 , USB laptop drivers
are provided by Intel/OEM notebook vendors. Users have to update this manually. Please
refer to http://support.displaylink.com for more details. For Windows 8 onwards, laptop
drivers are provided by Microsoft and updated in the system via Windows update.
For the best user experience, we recommend running the latest version of the driver.
