AW2521HF, DDM keeps switching to Multimedia mode, #2

<You replied to a 9 year old thread. Started your own thread. DELL-Admin>

This is still an issue for me in 2025 and the solution mentioned there does not work on the most recent Windows version. Any ideas what else I could try here?

The AW2521HF Drivers & Downloads page no longer list the end of life DDM (Dell Display Manager). It list the new DDPM (Dell Display and Peripheral Manager).

But, if you want to stay with DDM, the FAQ Windows OS DDM and DDPM shows newer than 1.56.0.2109 versions of DDM that you can test =

1.56.2110 October 10, 2022
2.1.0.45, January 17, 2023
2.2.0.43 September 29, 2023
2.3.0.22 March 26, 2024
2.3.0.23 May 8, 2024
2.3.1.14 June 10, 2024
2.3.1.16 July 9, 2024

@DELL-ChrisM2​ I had some issues updating DDM in the past but for whatever reason I seem to have been able to uninstall what I had and move over to 2.3.1.16 now and that issue doesn't seem to be impacting it
