M1 Mac Intermittent Problems with Plugable Displaylink Doc

I have run into the exact same problem with my Mac M1 mini. I would boot and could not use the doc with the USB-C connector unless I unplug and plug it back in.

My docking station has a USB-A adapter, so I tried using the legacy USB port. Turn on the Mac M1 mini and to my surprise it worked!

So if you have the ability to use the old-school USB port, it may resolve the issue.
