Hi,

I have a Dell XPS 13 (9350) with Intel HD 520 and a HP USB C Hub G4.

What I've pluged into the hub:
  • LAN
  • USB devices
  • 1x HDMI (external Monitor)
  • 1x DisplayPort (external Monitor)

But my Dell just doesn't connec to/recognizes the external Monitors..
I've pluged in the hub on another laptop - everything worked fine.
The Monitors and cables are also all fine!
And Intel HD 520 does support up to 3x Monitors.

I've already installed the latest drivers - without success 🙁

Any ideas, please? :/

Thanks.
 
got the thunderbolt software/driver install on the dell?

Just checked it, yeah.
Didnt think about that at all, but my Thunderbolt Controller doesn't seem to recognize the hub as a Thunderbolt 3, it's not listet as "Plugged in Thunderbolt Device".

Edit: I checked my Device Manager, couldn't finde Thunderbolt (I enabled show hidden devices). Looks like it's not installed properly, right?

Okay, could find it there too, but it was also listed as hidden device.
My Dell connects to the Hub via USB C instead of Thunderbolt, I guess thats the problem - I noticed that my other laptops do connect via Thunderbolt.
I've reinstalled my driver, but no success 🙁

Update: Checked up my BIOS settings, Thunderbolt is enabled and I put the security level to the lowest (=no security), nothing....This Dell is really <Mod Edit> me up, never again.
