Thank you very much. I have already contacted support, but I don't know which one in Germany or the USA, but I hope that the problem will be solved. Thank you again for your reply.

I just want to let you know how Acer support responded to the non-working USB-C interface.

"Unfortunately we have to inform you that the USB-C interface installed in your notebook does not provide DP transmission, and therefore not with standard USB-C Docking stations compatible.

It is therefore only possible to operate a single external monitor via the HDMI interface." (Google Translator)

I'm speechless. Additionally, Acer sold an additional “1 to 4 USB-C adapter” that was supposed to be used on this non-working interface!

Conclusion: My last purchase from Acer!

That really seems shady as the advertised specs include support. They should have offered a better solution. other than just saying sorry its not supported. there are Display adapters for standard USB 3.0. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=USB+3.0+to+Displayport&crid=25B6D58K5A0G3&sprefix=usb+3.0+to+displayport%2Caps%2C196&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

The Aspire A715-74G has a USB 3.1 Type-C port and a USB 3.0 Port with no display out. The only display out is from this laptop HDMI 2.0 port that has a Data Thoroughput of 18Gbps, you cant plug an Acer 4-in-1-Dongle Type-C into this laptop USB 3.1 Type-C or USB 3.0 ports and get display out capabilities.

I have now ordered a USB3.0 to DP adapter. Thanks for the tip. I'm just wondering why Acer sells an adapter that doesn't work with the computer. I didn't order them individually, but all together.
