Question Monitors not Recognized on Mac mini Boot Up

Greetings,

Equipment:
Mac mini (M1, 2020)
Two Dell D6000 Universal Docks
5 Monitors

Physical Setup:
Two Dell docks plugged directly into my Mac mini via USB-C, each dock has two monitors plugged in via DisplayPort, one central monitor plugged directly to the HDMI port on my Mac mini.

Software Setup:
macOS Big Sur 11.4
Display Link Manager 1.4.0 (Build 57.120)
Login screen extension installed
FileVault off

Problem:
Each time I power cycle (restart or cold boot) my Mac mini, my central monitor plugged directly into my Mac mini works as expected, displaying the login screen. The other 4 monitors plugged into my Dell docks are not recognized. If, at this point, I unplug the power to the docks and replug, the monitors are recognized and function as expected. What, if any, changes can I make to not need to power cycle my docks each time I boot up my Mac mini in order to have DisplayLink recognize the monitors attached to the docks?

Any help would be appreciated.

Default D6000 not working with mac mini m1 sometimes

I had the exact same issue as yours. My mac mini m1 crashed for some reason which I think is related to the dock and displaylink driver. After the machine started up, all monitors connected via the dock were not recognised and I had to unplug and plug dock power lead.
The dock is connected to mac mini m1 via USB-C, because I want to maximise the data transfer speed but unfortunately it caused problems. A workaround I found that worked for me is to use mac mini m1 USB-A port. Since that I haven't experienced any problem such as crash reboot and connection issues.
