My Aspire E5-575G is connected to a USB-C dock that is capable of providing 90w to power a connected laptop. However, the Aspire E5-575G is not pulling power from the dock when I pull the laptop’s power plug. I know that the dock does provide power via USB-C: I have a second laptop (Dell) that does pull power from the dock when connected.

I bought my Aspire E5-575G in 2014, so I’m wondering if it supports power via USB-C at all, or if some kind of driver update may be required. Any ideas? Anyone successfully powering their Aspire E5-575G via USB-C?
