The 10.13: High Sierra Thread

I also have the exact same problem.

I have been running 4 external screens and my macbook pro late 2016 internal screen without issue and am using two displayport screens and two displaylink adapters. Everything is connected through a belkin thunderbolt 3 dock.

Now I updated to high sierra 10.13.1, and when I plug in all the display link adapters all screens go black.

However. If I plug in my two 4k 60p displayport screens and no displaylink screens, then it works as it should. Also if I only plug in the displaylink screens, but not the displayport screens it also works as it should. It seems to be the combination of two external displayport screens together with two displaylink screens. No matter if its though the belkin dock or usb c adapters.

Displaylink adapter 1 info:

Displaylink adapter 2 info:
USB3.0 UHD DisplayPort Adapter:

Product ID: 0x4301

I am using displaylink 4.0.0 drivers.

Edit: Extra info
If I run two displayport monitors and connect 1 displaylink monitor all screens also go black.

If I run two display link monitors and 1 displayport monitor I get this situation where one displaylink is kind of ok, the other not ok, displayport screen and the internal screen black.
Mouse can be moved.
