Unfortunately the issues did return, but not as bad.
After much discussion with notebook and dock manufacturers support people, I have basically given up.
Best workaround for me :
Connect external monitors direct to the notebook, not via the dock.
In my case my notebook has HDMI and D-Sub ports. Using those for 2 x external monitors, zero crashes for a long time.
So basically using the dock as a glorified USB hub with sound.
Obviously only a workaround, not a solution.
Best guess (only a guess) seems to be a compatibility issue with certain notebook mainboards and DisplayLink chips, or a fault with DisplayLink chips
I am hoping manufacturers are reading this thread and working on it. Personally I am watching for manufacturers Targus and/or Toshiba to release updated drivers/firmware for their products to address this issue
TOSHIBA DYNADOCK PA3927A-1PRP latest driver ver 8.2 June 2017

TARGUS DOCK120AUZ latest driver ver 9.1 April 2019

I have lost all faith in DisplayLink drivers.
Meantime using the above workaround with no issues ..........
