Lenovo laptops don't like it

I work in the IT support department and I have about 1000 Lenovo laptops to service. As we transitioned from thin-tipped laptops to USB-C, I was looking for a solution to keep using all those old 65W power adapters and was glad I found it. However, laptops don't like it. When I plug it in and start the laptop, it complains that it doesn't have enough power. I even tried the 90W and 135W power adapters that come with Lenovo docking stations. To my credit, if I start the laptop on battery power and then plug it in, it charges well so it's still useful.

Pros
  • USB to USB adapter
Cons
  • Non-automatic
