Device not working after DisplayLink 5.4 auto-update

[bernie]

Over in the Plugable support forums, suddenly this morning we have several reports of the latest DisplayLink auto-update causing DisplayLink devices not to work. System Restore back to prior driver version fixed it for one user.

It doesn't appear to affect every system - we haven't seen it in our labs yet (but are trying different combinations this morning).

Posting here in case any other users are experiencing this also.

Thanks,

I posted incorrectly, the auto-update installs version 5.3.25973.0, NOT 5.4.

Here's a thread going from problem to solution:

Thanks for letting us know Bernie. I've raised a bug and our team is dealing with it.
