Displaylink 2nd and 3rd monitor setup--[solved] Is only working for 2 monitors.

Using a DisplayLink equpped Wavlink docking with HDMI & DVI outputs (DVI adapted to vga), only 2 monitors at a time would work.

Solution was:
Got to display settings:
Click to highlight the one that is not working. You can figure that out by clicking ‘identify’. You’ll see that it puts numbers only on the ones that are working.

With the one that isn’t working highlighted, scroll down to “multiple displays”, and select “remove this display” or “disconnect this display”. My 3rd monitor immediately turned on.

*it should be noted that I was running in “extended” mode. You can quickly switch that setting by pressing windows key + P.
