That was actually the fix I did.  I also turned off Display Port 1.2 tech.

Subject: [mssms] Surface 3, Docking Station, and Daisy-Chaining. Oh my!

Has anyone found a good work around for this problem that neither Dell or M$ 
want to address?

So here's the situation, if you have a SP3 in a docking station hooked to two 
Dell U2414H's with display-port connections that are daisy-chained you will 
have problems, and often!

There was a flickering problem also but it looks like M$ did fix this one.

Some of the problems are, monitors will NOT wake back up if SP3 sleeps. Or if 
docking SP3, monitors do not wake up, or maybe only one of them wakes up.

As an attempt to find a solution I bought one of these devices but it's only a 
little less flakey.

All of these problems DO NOT exist if you plug directly into the SP3 which 
kinda defeats the purpose of their docking station.

Please tell me someone out there has found a solution? Sending back these 
monitors to Dell and ordering new ones is not a solution as we have several 
users with this set up.

Thanks!
