Default Macbook Air M1 2020: 2nd monitor is recognized but has black screen

Hello everyone. I am running a MacBook Air M1 2020 where my 2 external monitor has a black screen. Here are my specs to give a more detailed explanation:

- macOS Monterey v12.4
- 1x monitor: LG 27GI850
- 1x monitor: Acer XV272U (one showing black screen)
- Docking station: WAVLINK

I bought this for the sole reason to have 2 monitors for my personal workstation. However, with the incoming new updates of Apple and DisplayLink has caused my 2nd monitor to display a black screen. I adjusted the Refresh Rate on the 2nd monitor from 144Hz to 60Hz which did nothing. I only know with the recent updates is when it began to have issues so I'm sure it has nothing to do with my monitor but the updates on Apple and DisplayLink not jiving together. What's even more odd is I have a MacBook Pro M1 and when I setup my environment just like my MacBook M1 Air, my 2nd monitor is recognized. Would appreciate any help on anyone who has fixed this issue on their own MacBook Air M1.

The odd thing is if I mirror the display of both my 2560X1440 monitors they work but once you switch to "Extended Display", the windows that are mirrored are stuck in place.

DisplayLink has a process for reporting macOS issues to them directly here --> https://support.displaylink.com/know...to-displaylink
