If I quit DisplayLink Manager before reconnecting, and then open DisplayLink Manager, the windows stay where they were (and windows previously in DisplayLink screens moved to there as expected).

Also some times the DisplayLink monitor won't display correctly (wrong order, freezing screen) after reconnecting, powering it off and on or restarting DisplayLink manager would work.

Hello,

Can you please share more details I will need logfiles to check the feedback from the driver. For instructions on how to gather the logfiles please navigate to the following article How to report macOS issues to DisplayLink


And aslo for speedy support please send an email with the logfiles and detailed problem description to: technical-enquiries@synaptics.com
