Overwatch not accessing dGPU when Displaylink Hub plugged in

I have a Toshiba Dynadock with DisplayLink outputs that I was trying to use as a regular USB hub. I have a 1060 gaming laptop, and I drive an external monitor from the laptop's MiniDP port. Without the hub I can play Overwatch just fine at 144+ fps, but when I connect the Dynadock my graphics performance is suddenly severely limited (~9 fps on High, ~40 fps on lowest possible settings). The best way that I could solve it was to go to Device Manager -> Display adapters and uninstall the TOSHIBA Video Dock (whatever you have will be different). However, this is only a temporary fix as the driver is reinstalled whenever the computer is turned on again.
