HP Recommended
Product: HP Elitebook 8540W
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have HP laptop Elitebook 8540w and I am using it with HP docking station A7E32AA#ABB . They worked fine together while my laptop had Windows 7 OS, but when I installed Windows 10 Pro, the laptop doesn't want to start when I plug it in the docking station. When I connect the laptop to the docking station the orange light for the battery on the laptop lights up, and the blue light on the docking station's button for ejecting the laptop also lights up. However, when I press the button to turn the laptop on, all the lights just flash and they go off. The laptop doesn't want to turn on. When I use just the charging cable without the docking station the laptop turns on without problems. 

 

Any idea what is the problem? Are there any drivers for the docking station I need to install/update after installing the Windows 10?
