Doesn't work with HP Elitebook x360 1030/Windows 10

The HP Elitebook x360 1030 works _some_ but very unstably with this device. It took me a few tries to get it working, I think the drivers weren't installed properly (or the wrong drivers were installed). I have limited control over this device, it is my work laptop so I was unable to install the drivers from the manufacturer's website. I think Windows picked the wrong version or something. Sometimes it works, if not I have to turn off the machine and the dock and try again, it finds the dock on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th try. Every once in a while it loses connection(?) and just stops working (the laptop still works but no external monitors/keyboards) and I have to turn it off and try again. Very annoying. Will try to go back and get another model, see if it works better. That's a shame too, the HP recommended dock is over $200 and only has 2 USBs and those stupid display ports (no HDMI or DVI) which is pretty ridiculous since this dock has DVI, HDMI and VGA, 6 USB ports and has audio. I think you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Everything OK
