DisplayLink and Windows Laptop Power Settings Question

We use DisplayLink docking stations. Typically a user will have their laptop open, press power ON / wakeup, connect the DisplayLink docking station and laptop power, then shut the laptop to use two primary larger monitors.

I have configured Power Options to leave the laptop powered on when AC power is connected. When it's not connected, it's set to sleep.

The problem I seem to be running into is once AC power is removed from the laptop once it's already shut and connected to USB DisplayLink docking station... it won't recognize this and never sleep. All displays from the docking station continue to work on laptop battery power.

I'm concerned that users won't manually put the computer to sleep, unplug the power and docking station at end of day, and have a dead battery and extremely hot laptop when they power it back up at home.

Anyone ran into this issue?
