DisplayLink w/ 8 monitors on Windows 10

computerguru · 02-23-2015, 03:44 PM

I'm running into some issues with Windows 10 build 9926 while attempting to run 8 monitors. Currently, I have two AOC E1659FWU monitors, along with an Anker USB 3 docking station that I have 2 monitors attached to. All those monitors utilize DisplayLink. There are two other monitors that are running off the VGA and DisplayPort connectors on the desktop. This setup works fine in Windows 10.

As soon as I connect a Pluggable USB 3.0 dock (which has 2 additional DisplayLink ports), the video driver crashes and drops me down to a single monitor.

The desktop system is running an ATI Radeon HD 4200 with 256 MB of shared ram.

Are there any tricks to getting all the monitors working with multiple USB docks? Or am I expecting too much from a beta operating system? ;-)
