![]() Now I dont know about Dell, but Lenovo has some "smart docks" that are always on, and connected to a enterprise service that can be updated remotely even with no computer connected to them. It is unlikely by you updating the DisplayLink Drivers on the computer, that it will then in turn update the docks firmware. Hooking up a Dell dock over USB-C is just like plugging in a monitor to a display port, Connecting a DisplayLink is not. Where as the other dock is using DisplayLink which is in effect software based graphics card. The firmware on the dock itself needs to be updated. The dell needs to be connected to the computer, because most likely it actually updating the dock firmware, which does not really have any drivers at all on the computer as it using Displayport over USB-C, and MST. I think you are confusing 2 different types of updates. I would not replace WD19TB's with a DisplayLink dock if I could avoid it. I don't know how you would update the firmware of your humanscale docks, but I am guessing that right now you are not doing that. You can install DCU application on your PCs and schedule it to update drivers and firmware every day or every Thursday at 11am, and then you'll catch a decent number of the home docks and update their firmware. The Dell Command Update tool can update the firmware on your Dell docks, but the docks do need to be plugged in for that to happen. Your Dell docks don't need that, so you're not. You are updating the drivers on your PCs for the humascale docks. Depending on the manufacturer, they may or may not ever release updates for it. ![]() They're passing DisplayPort through the USB-C cable.īoth types of docks also have firmware on the dock. Docks like the WD19 don't need drivers, as they connect the screens to the existing Intel or Nvidia or whatever GPU in the laptop. Displaylink docks need drivers on the PC to work, as they're using a software GPU to drive the external screens. ![]()
