With the latest release, Microsoft has integrated native support for DisplayLink USB video devices into the operating system so our USB video adapters and docking stations are considered standard Display Adapters within Device Manager (previously they were in a unique class, “USB Video Adapter”). Why the excitement? Native Windows support for DisplayLink offers a multitude of benefits for users including simplified device installation, improved performance, and reduced system resource usage. The Anniversary Update will add features and bug fixes, but the most exciting aspect from Plugable’s perspective is the inclusion of native support for DisplayLink technology. Microsoft provides more details here but in general the update continues Microsoft’s approach to providing continual Windows 10 updates as a service rather than separate product updates as they did with previous versions of Windows. To celebrate the occasion Microsoft will be releasing a large update known as the ‘Anniversary Update’ to the operating system on August 2nd.

While many of the issues documented in our old post have been resolved, time has passed and Windows 10 turned one year old on July 29th 2016. With regard to our USB docking stations and USB graphics adapters we documented those findings in one of our blog posts here With any operating system update there are changes in behavior and new things to learn. On July 29th, 2015 Microsoft released Windows 10 as a free upgrade for home users of Windows 7 and 8.1. Please email us at any additional questions. This limitation is expected to be addressed in the next release of the DisplayLink driver, which is currently expected to be released mid-August. Update -There is a limitation with the current 8.0 M0 release of the DisplayLink driver that in some instances can prevent more than four DisplayLink attached monitors from working as expected. Update -DisplayLink has posted a knowledge base article with more information about the changes the Windows Anniversary Update brings Update -The limitation referenced in our 8/4 update has been removed with the latest 8.0 M1 release of the DisplayLink driver, and the download links have been updated. More information is available from DisplayLink here This is caused by the use of a driver for the system’s internal graphics adapter that is not Windows 10 native and does not support the WDDM 2.0 standard, or more specifically Desktop Window Manager (DWM) clone mode. Update -On a system with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update and a DisplayLink device, the ‘Duplicate’ or clone mode may not be available within the Display Settings application.

If this process does not proceed as expected, drivers can be manually installed. The user will need to select ‘Rift DK2 Sensor’ to use the microscope in Plugable Digital Viewer or other applications.Summary: Windows 10 Anniversary Update includes native support for DisplayLink technology and will automatically install the proper DisplayLink drivers for most users. To confirm these steps worked, look for an entry for Rift DK2 Sensor under Imaging Devices (if the steps did not work it will be listed under Oculus VR Devices still). Please note, after completing these steps, Windows will still name the microscope as ‘Rift DK2 Sensor’. Choose ‘Update Driver’ > ‘Browse My Computer For Driver Software’ > ‘Let Me Pick From A List Of Device Drivers On My Computer’, then look for ‘USB Video Device’, then click next to complete the install. Once we’ve found the microscope, right click on it.Reconnect the microscope and the entry should come back, that’s how we’ll know for certain we’re looking at the correct device. If you’re not certain if you found it, disconnect the microscope and the entry should disappear. It will likely be listed as a Rift DK2 sensor, under ‘Oculus VR Devices’. In the window that pops up, type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotes), then click OK.This can be done several ways, if you’re uncertain how to access Device Manager perform these steps: Connect the Plugable USB Digital Microscope.Disconnect the Oculus Rift sensors and cameras.If you have an Oculus Rift I would suggest to try these steps: Thanks for contacting us! I do apologize for any trouble you’ve had with our microscope, and I’d be glad to help! Do you have an Oculus Rift headset? The reason I ask, is that the microscope uses the same chip-set as the Oculus sensors making the system believe it is another Oculus Sensor.
