Do I need displayLink?
I am using only one monitor on my Inspiron 15 laptop. It is attached via HDMI. I do have a dock but am not using any other monitors.
Task Manager tells me that Display Link takes a lot of memory (Actually it is Windows Driver Foundation, which I believe is invoked by Display Link) and seems to be affecting performance. Can I uninstall it? Disable the service? Get rid of it somehow or will that cause a problem?

You have not mentioned which model and which dock
But but by reading your post its clear that your dock is not thunderbolt.
Type C docks require display link to function and show monitor
Some dell docks use Display link for ethernet too
tell us more about the dock and devices connected to it.
