Windows 10: Multiple Display - phantom display after PC restored from laptop Image

Hello,
I recently installed an image of my laptop running windows 10 home into a SSD and installed it in my PC with Dual monitors.
The Dual monitors are connected to my PC via Targus DisplayLink hub.

In my Settings for Display I am able to see the dual monitors as well as a 3rd smaller monitor which actually does not exist. I have clicked Detect but it still does not get rid of the unknown monitors.

Since I am not able to get rid of the 3rd phantom display some times I am facing issues with open browsers getting opened in my non-existent display.

Then as a work around I disabled the driver of the non-existent display.

Although occasionally I am still getting unusual behavior from my PC related to display.

Please suggest a permanent fix to get rid of this Phantom display. Pls see the attachment.

:)

How do you know its the display that's bad?

Just google "how to change display on a acer 5745"
