Monitor issues every time I boot (Win 8.1)

A lot of the time I come under some real stress trying to get the USB dock to work with my monitors. It would usually work with the mouse and keyboard just fine but the monitors won't connect.

In order for it to work I do the following:

Disconnect and Reconnect (via plug socket and USB) x 15 times
Uninstall driver
Reinstall driver (often the latest download from the website)
Disconnect and Reconnect another 15 times
Restart
Disconnect and reconnect another few times

At this point, I will get a message telling me that DisplayLink is running through the configuration for the first time and then the monitors will suddenly turn on at which point I discover that I now have to configure the positioning and set the primary monitor through the screen settings.

I can spend a good half an hour every morning trying to get this thing to work and I so I think it is about time I make my mark here.

Please tell me there is a fix to this largely annoying process!
