The graphical software utilities provided by Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD/ATI are designed to only recognize and work with graphics adapters made by their respective manufacturers. As a result, these utilities will not recognize USB-attached displays connected to a DisplayLink-based docking station or graphics adapter.

How to Manage Connected Displays

It is recommended to use the built-in Windows display management tools instead. For Windows 10 and 11, use the 'Display Settings' application, and for Windows 8.1 and 7, use the 'Screen Resolution' application. You can access these tools by right-clicking an empty space on the Windows desktop and selecting the appropriate option from the context menu.

Alternative Option for Intel Users

Intel offers an updated 'Intel Graphics Command Center' application that can recognize and configure DisplayLink-attached displays to a certain extent. However, some features specific to Intel graphics adapters within this application may still not work on a DisplayLink-attached display.
