    I Upgraded a Surface 5 Laptop from Win10 to Win11. The Docking Station now says "slow charger use a higher wattage charger" Dell D6000 this wasn't an issue when the device was on Windows 10. Any thoughts as to what could've made this happen? I tried updating the docking station's firmware, and removing the drivers but to no avail. Any recommendations would help.Thanks!

    Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 with Docking Station V2

    I had a Lenovo ThinkPad Laptop with TB4 docking station, all that was needed was one power supply from the docking station and the TB4 cable to the laptop and everything was charging ok

    Now with the Surface Laptop 5, I need 2 power supplies, 1 for the docking station and another to charge the laptop.

    So I need an additional power supply to keep in my laptop bag when I am on the move..

    What a joke!!

    DVI not working on extended monitor with Surface Book docking station

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Make sure the power light for the docking station is on

    • Make sure the monitor is getting power

    • Make sure the cable is connected properly to the monitor

    • Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station

    • Try flipping the connector for the adapter over (turns out some adapters can go in upside-down)

    • Take the Surface out of the docking station then put it back in


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
