If "removing my laptop" includes disconnecting from power, and your laptop is set to automatic graphics switching, it WILL switch graphics chips on-the-fly when you unplug power, and I don't think DisplayLink likes that. IIRC, my laptop would go black and only a force restart would get screen running again.
Automatic graphics switching makes sense in this case, as I connect via a USB-c cable that also supplies power.

I will try when I am back in the office on Wednesday. Thanks (really appreciate it)
