Hi, I'm currently attempting to connect a dual monitor setup to my laptop (HP Notebook 14 cf0018ca) through a docking station connected by usb-c. One monitor is working perfectly fine, however, the other monitor is not picking up any signal. I tried connecting the monitors to another device, and both monitors worked without any issue. Is there anything I can do to get a display from both monitors (i.e. drivers I can install, update to windows 11). I also get a "Display connection might be limited" message whenever I plug in the usb-c cord, and it doesn't charge my laptop.
