Modern Apps vs. Displaylink

BobFrankston · 03-03-2014, 05:19 PM

I can no longer run "modern" (AKA Metro) apps on my Dell XPS 27. The Windows tools point to the DisplayLInk driver as a possible cause. On this particular machine I have a StarTech.com interface with the latest (Feb 2014) DisplayLInk drivers.

I started having as similar problem with an XPS-18 using a Plugable extender and indeed removing the DisplayLink drivers fixed the problem and the apps do indeed work.

Given that this appears to be a reproducible and there is awareness what are the work-arounds or plans for fixing the problem?
