I was previously using the Lenovo USB 3 dock with my Surface and had removed the DisplayLink Display drivers but left the core drivers on the Surface. I quit using the Lenovo dock due to fuzzy image and mouse lag.

Just recently I purchased the Dell 2340T and thought I would give DisplayLink another shot. I just plugged it in and it reloaded the old drivers. I upgraded to the latest release and things seemed OK. However, as I moved from work to home I started getting the same reboot message as the OP. At work I plug directly into a monitor with USB 3.0 and display port. At home I just use USB with the 2340T. Both transitions requested a reboot every time. I find I can just close the message with no issue.

Today I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted and then attached to the monitor. No prompt to reboot was made. I won't know till Monday if the problem is completely resolved.
