I fought with that DisplayLink driver for a long time as well.  Very confusing 
using their Enterprise MSI or the .EXE install.  What I did was download the 
latest driver/software for it:  
DisplayLinkUSBGraphicsSoftwareforWindows8_1-M0.exe

Once you have that, this command line worked to uninstall it in the TS and the 
next step is the Upgrade OS that will obviously do the reboot for you.   Looks 
like there is an 8.2 version of the driver already.
DisplayLinkUSBGraphicsSoftwareforWindows8_1-M0.exe -uninstall -silent -noreboot

Subject: [mssms] Handling Unexpected Reboots in Task Sequences

I'm working on a task sequence to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and prior to 
the upgrade, because it was causing issues, we need to remove the DisplayLink 
Driver and Core Software. So I have a script that removes those and that 
Uninstall DisplayLink step is calling it (from package source). I've added the 
/noreboot and REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS parameters to the msiexec within the script 
but the uninstall always forces a reboot with no heads up and I can't seem to 
suppress it. I tried putting a step afterwards that runs "shutdown -a" in to 
see if it would catch it before it restarted but no luck. So the question is, 
what would be the best way to uninstall DisplayLink and be able to handle the 
unexpected reboots in the middle of the task sequence so that when the machine 
comes back up, it would continue with the OS upgrade?

I'm in the process of testing using an application to uninstall DisplayLink and 
then checking the box under Options within the TS to retry on unexpected 
restart so that's why you see two Uninstall DisplayLinks below. But figured I'd 
reach out to everyone here as well in case that doesn't work.
