Default DisplayLink adapter does not show the whole display

Hello,

i am using the USB to HDMI/VGA DisplayLink adapter of Lenovo with the newest Win10 and the ThinkPad L460.

When I want to connect my display with HDMI to the TV, I only see background image and the task bar. So I do not see desktop icons and any programs I started like a browser.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem please?

Thank you very mich!
Best regards
PLS

Hello,

This is probably because you are using extended desktop and your displays are not duplicated/cloned.

Here is an article on how to use the Windows settings to use this feature.

Angry Same problem here

Hi!

Looks like I'm in a similar situation.

After the 1607 upgrade, and DL M2 driver, I installed the latest Intel HD driver (win64_154028.4501).

The current situation is, I can't swith to "External display only" becouse I can only see the background image and the task bar. I can't see the mouse pointer, and nothing move or animate. Like a screenshoot.

But.

If I switched back to the "Clone display" mode, everything working fine. I can see the whole desktop, twice. :-). "Extending display" also working as expected.

And the LAGS... Horrible.

Default

The external display only issue is likely to be the OS one we have been dealing with under the thread called with lag in the title. The fact you only see the issue in replace mode seems to confirm it is the same problem.
We are waiting for the OS fix to be back-ported to Windows 10 v1607. It has been rolled out on Windows Insiders Program who use the next version of Windows 10.
For DisplayLink driver, there is no difference if we are the only monitor, or if there are 1+ panels connected to the graphics card.
