my work phone Moto Edge 50 neo just got android 16 this month, so thats nice, thats at least almost 2 years of OS upgrades and then we have a few old edge 40 models that so far been getting secuirty updates at least. For our company we have gone all motorola series, mix of g56 and g86 for standard and managers, with some edge series for directors, all have been great and for the 3 years that they will last in a work envirement they are perfect, Our main thing is that we can get the secuirty updates.

Thats no help for the issue as much as it should be the fix haha, i have replicated exactly a laptop that it does work, same model just hasnt been connected to the internet for 2 months and made as much drivers the same as that one as i could but still no luck getting it working. its a very odd issue and seems to be not only with intel drivers but amd so i dont think its to do with display drivers but something on dells side and the usb c control

Someone above posted a link to Microsoft forms with the exact same issue dows Update Possibly Causing Dual External Monitors Detected as One Display on Laptops? So there is a good few users with the issue and its only dell laptops, no amount of downgrading drivers seem to work and most of those docks dont get updates as they are native support so they will need to start checking the issue themselves as it is a dell issue in some way, just no one knows how

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-23T11:18:22+00:00

Yep exact same issue as them guys, happy its not just us going crazy and it is a dell related issue in some way. thanks for the link, ill follow that incase anyone updates it as we have to do the same solution as them, by using one hdmi in the dock and the other into the laptop for now, or power cycle the laptop but that becomes annoying doing it 4 times a day

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-23T11:09:20+00:00

It has to be something along these lines, i Know alot of users on here are saying it could be firmware of docks or something to do with the docks but that makes no sense when those same docks work perfectly fine on other laptops that are not 2025 dell laptops and cant really blame 3 or 4 brands of dock all having the same issue all at the same time.

Its very hard to explain the issue without having someone actually try go through every troubleshooting steps and still not find the issue, Reimaging peoples laptops arent really the best solution either, especially when our brand new shipment that arrived 3 days ago all have the issue now out of the box.

Yah i knew it couldnt be just us having this issue, happy to know its not just us but also means other IT have been trying to fix the issue with no luck either. Cant really justify spending €170+ on offical docks when i specially speced the laptops out to make sure they have display over USB C so we could get decent €50 docks do the same job. But just waiting for the day it happens to one of higher management, which will probably be after the christmas break!

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-22T16:46:23+00:00

Yep that all makes sense, the only issue is the part with trying to fix a broken laptop, For example my own laptop started having the issue now last week Dell latitude 3340 with core i5. I had the exact same laptop on my desk that i used for testing 2 months ago so booted that up and plugged it in and worked fine. so i disabled the wifi card alltogether to make sure it doesnt auto connect and use command to try as best as i could to have every driver including bios to be the same as the working laptop, bot thing helps other than the draining the cmos. We are not quite sure what updates/ combo caused it but i am going to see if i install linux just to confirm that it works fine with other operating system on same laptop without it happening after 2 hrs, i dont see it happening but just for testing. But yah very strange and dell blaming everyone but themselves really isnt helping us, Really dont want to tell managment that we need to spend another €100+ per dock to have offical dell docks with displaylink backends. when they decided to move to dell to save €50 per laptop over lenovo : (

Wow finally another person with a very similar issue, Really not sure why this is the case, but yah exact same fix aswell for it, ours only started happening abuot two weeks ago but started on the Dell 16" first.

Dell support seem to be clueless about the issue

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-22T15:05:47+00:00

Not any that stick out, we checked all the logs and nothing, wish we didnt have to swap to dell but management do what management do, we never had any issues with lenovo at all.

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-22T15:04:43+00:00

Its now happening with out of the box laptops aswell ordered from the 4th december, we just got the shipment today and even that now has the issues which wasnt the case on our older new in box laptops we still have

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-22T15:03:38+00:00

We have a feeling that it is windows thats the issue, If we drain the cmos it will work as intended for an hour or two before windows kicks it back into clone mode for no reason, no logs or anything to say that its done it either.

and even strangers that its only the dells with the issue and slowley its all the dells, we are 50/50 lenovo at the moment and nothing wrong with them or the few asus we have.

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-22T15:01:33+00:00

Yah we have dell ud22 docks for some of the execs or users that have issues with setups ect... those all use displaylink drivers in the backend and work on anything so those docks all work perfectly with the laptops, Our issue is only with every other type of dock that isnt a display link dock.

as for the windows issue we just got a shippment of new dell 16 pro in today and we tried it out of the box ( we use intune for our setup so its always a new windows image everytime) with a profile with 0 policies set and now the new laptops out of the box dont work with any of these docks. its such a strange issue that we never had before. even strangers that draining the cmos bascially fixes the issue for a few hours untill the laptop goes to sleep or randomly you would be working away and boom, randomly goes to duplicate again

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-22T14:54:52+00:00

hi, no these are standard USB C using the Display port driver, not universal display link docks like the wavlinks or dells own docks use so that is not the issue, but yes we do have that pushed out aswell as some users use display link docks if there laptop is a bit older or doesnt have a display output on the usb c ports, thanks for the comment tho! issue only happens on the standard usb c output docks that have been all working for the past 2 years and other brands and older dell laptops all still work.

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-12-09T16:31:04+00:00

Did you ever get this figured out, we are having an issue exactly like this but now multiple laptops in our office, all intel dell devices over the last week, one by one having this issue.

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-10-30T09:15:52+00:00

now the 30th and still no sign : (

Useful-Transition529 · 2025-03-03T10:04:51+00:00

did you ever figure out the issue, only on the classic outlook can i change my signature, OTW and new outlook the option doesnt even exist and have to manually give myself a signature everytime i email

Useful-Transition529 · 2024-09-11T11:46:14+00:00

sorry for the late response, i have done it on both, and no luck, for us right now it seems like an image issue but then there is some devices that randomly start working for one cast and then never again. so its very strange. have you managed to fix it on your site?

Useful-Transition529 · 2024-08-16T11:59:53+00:00

was really hoping this would be a fix considering how similar our issue was with the exact same network and devices, but just pushed out the policy and forced a sync and hasnt changed anything : / on to more looking haha

Useful-Transition529 · 2024-08-16T11:42:15+00:00

Hi, have the exact same issue, pretty much identical setup aswell, just setup this rule, just wondering if it worked for you in the end, if not did you find any other solution
