Once upon a time, I installed DisplayLink but have since uninstalled it. I have another program on my computer that keeps crashing and upon looking at the logs, it seems to be an issue with the.

The ability to connect multiple extended DisplayLink monitors is fully functional in macOS Mojave after being impossible in later versions of macOS High Sierra, the creator of the format has confirmed.


The technology has been working in Mojave betas since July 30, DisplayLink said. The company is currently testing a beta of its v5.0 Mac software, and says it plans to release the finished version when Mojave ships on Sept. 24.

The release of macOS 10.13.4 in April broke multi-monitor setups based on DisplayLink, causing screens to go black. The problem has persisted through 10.13.6, even though secondary features like sound and Ethernet should work.
In the interim DisplayLink has encouraged people to use its v4.3 software, which has a workaround enabling a single extended display.
DisplayLink has become a fundamental technology in the computer industry, used in some USB-connected monitors, docks, and other adapters. It lets people output video over USB, instead of having to rely exclusively on formats like HDMI and DisplayPort.
DisplayLink has no relation to alternate modes in the USB-C protocol allowing for HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity, or video-out ports in Thunderbolt 3 docks.

What Products Require DisplayLink Drivers to Function?

• We use DisplayLink USB Graphics chipsets in all of our USB 2.0 and 3.0 graphics adapters and docking station products. Currently only some of our USB-C docking station products, and none of our Thunderbolt™ 3 products utilize DisplayLink technology.
• If you have our TBT3-UDV, TBT3-UD1/TBT3-UD1-83, TBT3-DP2X/TBT3-DP2X-83, TBT3-HDMI2X/TBT3-HDMI2X-83, UD-CAM, UD-CA1/UD-CA1A, or USBC-MD101, these drivers are not required.
• These drivers may be installed with or without the hardware present yet. The final configuration will then be completed automatically when hardware is plugged in.
• Please be aware that it is perfectly normal to have your monitors briefly flash black once or more during installation and a reboot may be required to complete installation.

Windows 10, 8.1/8, Windows 7

Mac Important Information

• Before installing an updated DisplayLink driver on Mac, previous versions must be uninstalled followed by a system reboot. For detailed macOS 10.1x.x installation instructions click here.
• Please note, macOS 10.13 and later requires users to manually approve 3rd party extensions (drivers). Step-by-step instructions for doing so can be found in our blog post here.
  For DisplayLink drivers, sometimes they need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before they will show up in Gatekeeper to approve.
• For users of macOS Sierra (10.12), please read our blog post here regarding known-issues and workarounds.
