10.13.4 Displaylink no longer working

After upgrading to 10.13.4 my display link monitors no longer function. I've tried updating the displaylink drivers but this does not return the functionality to display multiple monitors that existed in 10.13.3. As a consequence I had to roll back to 10.13.3 to get my monitors to function again. This rollback also confirms that the issue appears to be in 10.13.4. I've got a very large number of MACs that I can not permit this upgrade to be deployed to in my enterprise as it will cause enormous support issues. Does some one have a fix as to how to get this minor bug fix update to function with displaylink?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

It is very disappointing. I for one would not have "upgraded" if there was a warning this would kill mu USB video.

I just have it running to display my security cameras off the main screen so I can see anyone coming. My workshop is in the back yard. Nothing fancy in the way of graphics.


There have been some who say this in not Apple's problem but I see it as fully in their court. Something that was working is no longer. The only variable is the upgrade.

Apply is getting just as callous as MS.

As I said in starting, very disappointing!

I have been using Apple products since the Mac Classic days. Thumbs down Apple that you are not at all interested in fixing this. Another indication that you have got too big and lost your connection with you user base.

I am gifting this 27" Mac to my son so the USB video problem will not matter on this machine, but will in no way update my other Macs! I would like to turn off all future updates if I can.

Getting disappointed with Apple for not following up to resolve this issue with USB DisplayPorts which is used in our company to connect both our PC and Macbook (prior to MacOS 10.13.3) to our keyboard/mouse and monitor. I am stopping any future updates on MacOS and staying with MacOS 10.13.3. I wish there is a way to stop the prompting and the upgrade notice for 10.13.6 and stop future MacOS updates until Apple solve this issue.

Apple,


Tons of developers using your laptops and your language , creating emerging technologies are using Display link, if these issues don't get resolved they will result in tech companies both moving away from the apple platform and mentioning that they spent thousands of dollars in investment only to have apple make the technology obsolete and that hampered the progress and design of the technology.


i am sorry but short of wipe my machine i have begun using my windows units more and will be changing over any of my employees that cannot get their macs working again.


sorry but this is getting sad that you guys are going proprietary again, after a good 10 years of bringing back the customer via multiple avenues of use.


regards


un happy Mac user
