HP B49N4AV Pavilion laptop running Win11 on HP G5 dock 5TW10AA and getting HP recommends using an original AC adapter from HP message. Purchased these together, same order, and the dock G% was the recommended docking station. So why am I getting the dreaded message that lives on and on. Any body know a solution for this?

The HP USB-C Dock G5 should work with your machine. Do you
(a) connect any un-powered devices to the dock?
(b) your machine have NVIDIA® GeForce® MX570 A (4 GB GDDR6 dedicated) card ?
If yes it is much better to use its charger which came with the machine, the dock may not have enough juice to charge your machine.

I could have provided more detail. Everything works, laptop charges fully, I got the business version of the dock with the charger that provides 120W at 19.5V, 6.15A. The charger with the laptop is 65W. I have DP and HDMI monitors connected to the dock and they work great also. All USB connected devices are self-powered except for flash drives. I wonder if HP is using 'smart pins' to monitor power sources and this is not being handled properly by the dock? I just want them to stop, I have the correct hardware, so this should not be reporting an issue. FYI, the dock charger is HP PN L41423-012.
