Windows Powershell- Detect Docking Stations and attached monitors

USB-C monitors connected to Dock doesn't work at login screen

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T14 (AMD) and a Lenovo Thinkpad USB-C / Thunderbolt dock.

The laptop ONLY has USB-C , NOT Thunderbolt.

My issue is that the 2 monitors connected to the dock are not detected if i connect the dock before logging into Windows 10

eg:

1. Computer is hibernated or sleeping

2. I Connect the USB-C dock

3. I turn on the computer

The computer starts up and the login screen is presented, but the monitors are not working.

I then login to Windows but the monitors are STILL NOT found.

I then need to unplug the USB-C cable and plug it in again.

NOW the monitors will get detected and start working.

this is driving me nuts, because i kind of expect that the monitors are working regardless of WHEN i plug in the USB-C
