  Yeah. I’m spending too much time going down rabbit holes about what the cause is (maybe it’s because the processor doesn’t support DP 1.4? Is it the port? I don’t know!)

  Worst case if I need two screens, the laptop itself has a 17" screen so that’s not so bad. Just takes up a heap of space and isn’t at the right height. I don’t do that much work on this laptop atm so I’ll survive. At least the dock generally works, last time I tried using a USB-C dock with this a few years ago nothing worked.

    This sounds stupid but do you have to toggle it to dual display on the laptop itself or go through the display settings?

      Just display settings. The keyboard button for toggling multiple displays does basically the same thing (choice of extending, duplicating, etc)

      I can technically run two external screens by plugging one monitor into the laptop’s HDMI port, but that kind of defeats the point of a port :( don’t think I’ll do it unless I really need to.

        Hmm I’m not sure how it really works through the dock to be honest.

        What happens when you put it into extending the screen option?
