USB-C charging issues with 135W,100W and Anker charger. Need help with Thunderbolt setup
I just bought 3 usb c chargers. One is 135W, another is 100W and the last one is an anker mutiple port usb c charger and had a 100w cable plugged in and still didnt work.
Tried setting bios S4 wake support on off and usb/tbt detection gain on and off and it still does not work.
I also installed the driver for thunderbolt and I know I have thunderbolt since I have a docking extender that I have my second monitor to plugged in (monitor hdmi → hdmi on docking cable -> docking cable usb c → usb c in on laptop).
Could I please get help on this.
Picture of the chargers.

IMO, the only USB-C charger that works with gaming rigs and that I tested with my PHN16-71 is the ROG-Asus 100W charger (see link), Thunderbolt4 has a 100W limit so if you go over that it may not work, the multiport universal chargers use regular USB-C cables that also don't work as USB-C charging requires a 5Amp heavy duty fixed cord:
Note that the laptops like the PHN16-71/72 will detect a USB-C charger as a battery and you will get popups with "Low Power" even when the battery is fully charged, best to use the Power Adapter that came with your unit also when using a TBT4 USB-C docking station.
