Hello, in an environment where teachers move between classes, we had setup HP USB-C mini docks in every classroom for teachers to plug into to get access to a touchscreen display and ethernet. Recently, the school upgraded some laptops to HP Probook 445 G8s and they have been unable to work with the dock correctly. The display is all pixelated and distorted, but the touchscreen (connected through USB) and ethernet connection work fine through the dock. The displays are connected through HDMI.
I've done the standard troubleshooting on both the laptop and the dock:
Updated dock firmware/drivers
Updated laptop display drivers
Updated laptop BIOS
Changed display settings in windows
Swapped HDMI cables
Re-imaged laptop (on one occasion)
Since this environment has multiple Probook 445 G8s and USB-C mini docks, I've tested multiple of the probooks with multiple docks and displays with the same issue. The docks and displays work fine with other HP Probook and Elitebook models used.
Is there anything I'm missing? Are the docks and the new Probook model just not compatible?
Thanks in advance.
