Default Wow - Thank You - Solved - No Wait!!

Okay. That worked in like seconds. Monitor image popped right on. Awesome.
Disabling the display adapter did cause problems.
When I restarted the laptop screen was blank. I had to plug the usb monitor in to re-enable the Intel adapter.
Which made the laptop screen work… and the usb monitor not-work.
Also, some programs didn’t work correctly.
Video playback was irregular, sometimes it was fine. Strange.

So… the only way to get the monitor to work is to…
Boot the laptop with both adapters enabled.
Then disable the Intel adapter.
Work with both monitors, but with fickle performance.
Then remember to re-enable the Intel adapter before shut down.
*Repeat process every time you want to use the monitor.

Thanks 'Just Me'. I do think you nailed the problem. It is definitely the dueling display adapters.
But until I can manually choose an adapter for each screen… it’s jury-rigged.
Or unless the intellects at DisplayLink can figure a workaround for us dual adapter losers.
