DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Display Link Stopped working on 3 monitors with M1

Updated to macOS 26.5 overnight, have lost my 2nd monitor. Was running DisplayLink manager 16, updated to 16.1 this morning, no change. I've done all the power cycling and cable swapping in the universe, same result of no 2nd monitor, but I did notice one interesting thing: swapping the DisplayPort cables wouldn't matter. It would always recognize and assign my middle/main monitor, never seems to detect my side/aux monitor, regardless of which dock ports the monitors were plugged into.

Has anyone had any success getting their 2nd monitor back? I'm out of things to try.

2023 mbp m3 pro 36gb memory
2 Samsung SyncMaster SA850 monitors
Wavlink WL-UG69DK1 USB-C Dual 4K Docking Station (using DisplayPort)

I have the output from the diagnostics tool (~29mb). When I try to attach the .zip to this post I get:
