Dell D6000 - Macbook Does Not Exit Clamshell Mode When Disconnecting

I'm running the latest DisplayLink drivers on MacOS 10.14.6 on a 2018 15" MacBook Pro.

When I use my dual displays while my MacBook is in closed-clamshell mode, it works perfectly. The display turns off, and I am able to work seamlessly. However, when I disconnect my laptop, the internal MacBook display remains black (I can still hear sounds and the machine functioning).

The only solution so-far is to hard-shutdown my machine. I've tried using an automator script to detect screens when I can't see my internal display to no avail: https://apple.stackexchange.com/ques...ternal-display

I think when I disconnect the hub, my MacBook fails to exit clamshell mode. How can I manually exit clamshell mode, or what am I doing wrong here?
