I am basically encountering the same issue as the user in this issue that was using the USB 3.0 HDMI Adapter, though the resolution wasn’t made publicly available: https://c.getsatisfaction.com/plugable/topics/new_usb_3_0_hdmi_adapter_causes_computer_to_freeze
When I plug my Plugable into my laptop and use it, the laptop will randomly freeze and be unable to perform any actions other than me doing a hard reset on the laptop. This has been going on for a month or more now and yesterday I heard my HDD get overloaded while freezing.
There were no issues with using this device when I first got it. Only change I can think of that happened was a Windows update. I have already tried using the DisplayLink Installation Cleaner application for the version 8.4 drivers, restarting and reinstalling the latest drivers (8.4) twice, but this issue has persisted. My laptop had already been on Windows 10 when I first used Plugable and it worked fine. I have run my laptop disconnected from the Plugable Device for hours and it is running fine, so can confirm the issue is with this device and not my laptop hardware.
Setup:
Laptop- Sony vaio vpcf126fm (don’t believe it has USB 3.0 support)
Plugable product: UD-3900
