Hello @Fallen2025 

 

Unfortuanely its USB-c port does not support Thunderbolt.

It has... 1 USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data transfer only, up to 5 Gb/s); 3 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (1 HP Sleep and Charge); 1 HDMI 2.0; 1 RJ-45; 1 headphone/microphone combo.

Sorry.

Then why are there thunderbolt symbols on the USB 3.0 and USB type C connectors on this computer?  False advertising?

 

The USB type C connector does provide video pass through but it is rotated 90 degrees.  Who can help?

@Ge0Are you referring to the Pavilion 15-cx0000 series?

If so, are you looking at the lightning bolt next to the USB icon?

That indicates the USB port also provides charging even when the laptop is turned off.

Its in your manual here... http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05985643
