Hi everyone!

The updated driver is now available via Windows Update as well. If you happened to disable hardware acceleration as a workaround before the driver was available, you should re-enable it to avoid potential performance issues. More info here on how to do that.

Have a great weekend.

    Wow this one's been plaguing me ever since upgrading to Windows 10.  Who would have ever thought the DisplayLink dock had anything to do with this?

    Thank you so much for tracking this down.  Great work!
