Display Link stops working when I add an HDMI cable

I had to reinstall Windows last week due to a network issue. I have an Acer laptop with Windows 10 and two external AOC monitors. Before the reinstall, everything was working well - display wise.

But now, if I have one of the AOCs connected to my laptop, only that monitor (plus the laptop display) functions. If I unplug the HDMI cable, the Display Link connected monitor works fine. I have installed the latest Windows 10 Display Link driver, but can't quite figure out where the problem is. Any ideas?
