Skin Connect – Windows 10 Spring Update

Skin Connect – Windows 10 Spring Update

The recent update of Windows 10 (update 1803) has crashed the deprecated version of Skin Connect.

DISPLAX has released a special driver for Windows 10 and we recommend installing it as soon as possible.

Beforehand, we advise to save the settings of Skin Connect, so it can be restored if needed after the update is done.


Drivers can be found on the links below
Windows 10 – 64bits (driver v1.8.0.3)
Windows 10 – 32bits (driver v1.8.0.3)

Information

With this update, some machines do not detect the new DIPSLAX Skin driver, so the solution is:

  1. Open the PC BIOS menu. You can often access this menu by pressing a key during the bootup sequence, such as F1, F2, F12, or Esc

    Or, from Windows, hold the Shift key while selecting Restart. Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options: UEFI Firmware Settings

  2. Find the Secure Boot setting, and if possible, set it to Disabled. This option is usually in either the Security tab, the Boot tab, or the Authentication tab

  3. Save changes and exit. The PC reboots

  4. Test the Skin Connect driver again.
