Symptom

The DisplayLink UI icon is not seen in the system tray. The DisplayLink UI  icon is shown below:

Problem

This can occur if:

• A DisplayLink device has not been detected connected to the computer. The  icon will only appear if a DisplayLink device is connected. Please refer to this article to diagnose if your DisplayLink  device has been detected
• If you have a product based on the DL-3000 (USB 3.0) family, the  DisplayLink UI will only appear if a DisplayLink device has been detected AND  a monitor is connected to the video output. The DL-3000 family implements  monitor detection and the DisplayLink UI will only be shown in the system  tray when a DisplayLink device and a display is detected.

Solution

Ensure the a DisplayLink device is connected to the computer and a monitor  is connected to the video output of the DisplayLink device.
