Deleting module evdi-1.14.4 completely from the DKMS tree.

Today after running the following command: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y the held back kernel 6.8.0-40-* were updated and moments later my AOC usb monitor stopped working. I decided to reinstall display link latest driver for ubuntu 6.0.0-24 and received the following:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-6.0.0-24.run
Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

This kernel update has been held back for awhile and not sure who decided to release it. But this the results of updating the kernel to 6.0.0-24 please advise.

I resolved the issue. I am thinking the new kernel includes the latest evdi. After researching I decided to remove the multiple evdi's, rebooted ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS laptop, plugged in the usb AOC monitor and the monitor is working. My issue is resolved.
