FAQ
The screen display abnormally?
Please check the following to see if something caused this issue: Check if your system display adapter driver is installed properly. If you have DisplayLink devices installed in your system, please remove the driver from Control Panel Programs and Features Since these kinds of devices may influence the performance. If you have the USB to VGA adapter connected to a USB 3.0 Hub, connect it directly to a USB 3.0 port on your computer instead.
Why only 800x600?
Want to try more monitors?
This adapter needs a lot of data to keep working properly. Most computer systems can’t send enough data over USB 3.0 for two usb to vga adapters. This means that one or both monitors will start flickering or go completely blank. Here are some rules to give you the best chance. No Hubs! USB hubs provide more ports but can't increase the amount of data a USB port can send. If your system has more than one USB 3.0 Host controller, connect one usb to vga adapter to each controller. You can also try adding an additional PCIe to USB 3.0 adapter card to your system.
Could the adapter work under secure desktop?
The USB to VGA adapter could work under regular Windows setting, but it couldn’t work under secure desktop. That’s because, under secure desktop, the driver of the graphics card couldn’t be opened.
