Automatic Updates
DisplayLink Automatic Updates is supported on Windows 2000/XP and Vista. The automatic update mechanism
ensures that the adapter has the most up-to-date drivers and software, providing you with increased
performance and stability.
You can disable this feature during installation by clearing the Automatically check for updates checkbox

when you resume or start your PC, every seven days. When newer software is available, the Updates Wizard
