Hey, I have a 2018 MacBook Pro 15in that I am having some issues with.
I have a docking station I use with my MacBook when I want to play video games.
This station has the following connected. It has Power-Over-Thunderbolt, 2 monitors, a Razer Keyboard, Mouse and Headset connected. It also has a 2TB HDD connected that I have some of my games stored on and a 1TB SSD connected with windows 10 on it that the MacBook boots from when I am gaming. This is all connected to a single Thunderbolt port on the mac.
The problem I am having is that when the Machine is connected to the Docking Station booted into Windows 10, the Machine WILL NOT charge. Windows 10 indicates that the machine is "Plugged in, Not Charging" and the machine will pretty rapidly discharge. I attempted to resolve this by using a higher-power charging brick than the one apple provided with the machine (100w vs 87w) but this only makes the machine discharge slightly slower. I am hesitant to get an even LARGER brick as apple indicated that more than 100w can damage the MacBook's charging circuitry.
Does anyone have any suggestions? What should I do to try to resolve this? Thanks in advance!
