I developed a workaround to stop the incessant writing to the log files!

Set the Windows file security permissions for the current user to Read and Read/Execute. Easiest way is to disable Inheritance on the file, the add the current user.
Make the change after disconnecting the DisplayLink device, otherwise these files will be open and unavailable to be modified.

C:\Windows\Temp\FirmwareTrace.log
C:\Windows\Temp\DisplayLink\FirmwareTrace.log
C:\Windows\Temp\DisplayLink\DisplayLinkManager.log

After making the permission rights changes, re-connect the DisplayLink device.

C:\Windows\Temp\DisplayLink\DisplayLinkUI.log is written by the Display Link Manager program that appears in the System Tray, and receives periodic log entries. Changing this file's permissions to Read and Read/Execute did not stop logging. This file is renamed to .old after a reboot.


Enjoy!
