Default DisplayLink fails when switching users

How can I fix that?
Was a solution ever found to this issue? I'm having the same experience on an iMAC ... switching users causes the extended display to not be recognized which I think is due to the driver not loading.

Is there a way to install the DisplayLink software for 'all users'?

The failure to load happens when switching user accounts and is not specific to which account was logged into on a restart. I with account several times a day for different work projects and restating each time is inconvenient at best, it significantly interferes with work efficiency.

Thanks for any and all suggestions/help!

Cheers
