    Hello Everyone,

    I have an HP Zbook Studio G3 with Thunderbult 3. My iPad Pro has USB-C and a USB-C charger, with USB-C to lighting. I've gotten a few cables of USB-C to micro-usb and thunderbolt because it charges so damn fast!

    Unfortunately on my Zbook it is not the case. It seems stuck at 500mA (2Watts). I've tried different cables and the other USB-C Port without any help. I've called HP and the only thing they do is update the drivers and now they are asking to ship the laptop back... I refused. I can connect a haddrive,monitor, etc the port works fine. Just charging speed sucks.

    Any ideas?

    Cable? USB devices are sensitive to this.

    I have tried three different cables. All that charge at full speed when plugged into a USB-C Charger.
