Dear Mac users:

Jun 15, 2018 To me, the real question, is whether DisplayLink knew/was warned before the new Mac OS update and failed to warn it's registered customers before the update came out. I know that I was registered and never received any notification not to install it. Question: Q: macOS 10.13.4 update breaks DisplayLink support for monitors.
(displaylink series adopters And docking only)

Issue with MacBook 2018 models with 10.14 Mojave
MacBook 2018 models (based on the Intel Coffee Lake chipset) running macOS 10.14 or 10.14.1 can experience black extended display(s) with only mouse cursor. DisplayLink driver v4.3 Beta 6 stays available to force an AirPlay extended display on these machines. This is fixed by the macOS 10.14.2 public beta .
Information about macOS 10.13.4 to 10.13.6
Users of 10.13.4-10.13.6 should use v4.3.x as it contains a workaround to enable one extended USB display . An FAQ details how to enable Apple AirPlay with DisplayLink display for extend or mirror mode.

Since macOS High Sierra 10.13, the operating system applies a stricter security policy to software that requires kernel extensions (kexts). The DisplayLink driver installation includes a system extension (DisplayLinkDriver.kext) that is affected by this policy.
As a result, the user now has to explicitly enable this system extension in the Security & Privacy system preference after installation and before the DisplayLink software is allowed to run.
How to check if the DisplayLink Kext is blocked
You can check if the DisplayLink Kext is blocked by opening the System Report (Apple menu -> About) and select Extensions on the left pane and look for DisplayLinkDriver.kext. Check the 'Loaded' column. See the screenshot below, which shows the Kext blocked.
If this is set to 'No' then the kext is blocked and needs to be enabled following the steps below.
Enabling the DisplayLink Kext
Please note: It's only possible to enable the system extension in the 30 minutes following the installation. A new installation can be run to reset this timer.
At the end of the installation, the operating system should display a 'System Extension Blocked after installation' warning and ask the user to enable the DisplayLink extension
(Figure 1):Figure 1
Important: This warning is not always shown. Even if it is not shown, for new installations the user must enable the kernel extension to use the DisplayLink product.
The setting isavailable by choosing System Preferences from the Apple Menu and then clickingon the Security & Privacy panel (Figure2).

Follow Figure 3 - Figure 5to enable the DisplayLink Software to run on the system. Please note that the interface presented may be different if multiple software require user authorisation.

Occasionallypopup from Figure 1 may not bedisplayed and after the installation and reboot the DisplayLink additional monitorsmight not be functional. To resolve this it is required to manuallyallow the DisplayLink driver to be loaded on system following Figure 2 – Figure 4 and reboot the system at the end.
Important notes:- On some systems, the security clearance may not take automatically effect and the DisplayLink Software will still not be functional after rebooting. In this case, simply run the installer process again to ensure all the software is correctly started. This issue has been raised by DisplayLink to Apple with bug ID 33133825.
- Once the user approval has been granted, following installations of the DisplayLink software will not require further approval. This also means that systems upgraded to High Sierra while the DisplayLink software was installed won't require authentication.
- The Apple tech note linked below contains instructions about how to install third party kexts in a managed corporate environment.
