i have an HP USB-C G5 PN: 5tw10ut#aba that i am trying to connect to a HP Laptop 15-dy2xxx less than a year old with Windows 11 OS
1) i have verified that the setup I have works correctly with another HP laptop. Single monitor, HDMI cable connected to HP USB-C G5. When i connect the laptop to the USB-C G5, the monitor does not come on and it does not begin to charge.
2) I have downloaded all of the drivers for the USB-c G5 and run them.
3) I have powered the computer down, removed all devices, held power button for 30 seconds, powered back up and reconnected but still does not work.
4) I have verified that the monitor will plug directly into the monitor and work.
ANY IDEAS I MIGHT TRY?

What is your hp laptop 15-dy2xxx machine ? It should have same ports as the following machine
Its USB-C port in ONLY a SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to
- Charge your machine,
- Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter (some hubs may have builtin chip to support this)
In short it is NOT compatible with USB-C G5 dock.
If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use
- Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
- Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as
