A. Introduction

This is the R9.2 product release, the first release of 9.2 driver. 
It has been put through our full system tests and is suitable for deployment to end-users.  

DisplayLink Software Release 9.2 delivers:
  - Windows 10 postponed installation: when installing the SETUP.EXE, driver 
    will be updated straight away if no DisplayLink product is detected, or at
	the next machine reboot if a device is detected. MSI was delivered in 9.1.

  - Windows 10 postponed installation improvement: now uses service rather than
    task scheduler for wider compatibility in corporate deployments.
  - Improvements on Display layout provisioning for hotdesking/hoteling offices 
    to allow crowd/IT-defined first-connect display relative positions.
