Your laptop might not support Power Delivery or might have specific charging requirements. For example, if your laptop requires exactly 60W of power and a USB-C adapter between the charger and the laptop consumes some of the 60W, your laptop might not recognize that it is getting enough power.

For more information about Power Delivery, refer to the manufacturer of your hardware.
