Will a Pro Display XDR work with a Windows based PC?

If not, is there an adapter that would make it work?

Hi, yes it will work, you will not have the functionality of changing the brightness though unless you connect a Mac to do so, but it will work if you use a bi-directional Displayport to USB-C cable like this one:


Works perfectly with a PC running an AMD 5900x and RTX 4090 :)

I've used mine as a second display with my Windows PC (Gigabyte B650I Aorus Ultra) quite a bit. The issue is usually not with the Pro Display XDR, but with whatever random thing is going on with the PC drivers vs Windows itself at any given time. Sometimes it will work for months without issue, then suddenly not work at all and require various levels of Windows troubleshooting. In my experience the display has not been the thing to blame when the setup isn't working.
