Solutions you've tried
Seems to work fine for me on Win11 22H2 here, on a NS51MU unit. @Pokisiekk Was there a display connected while the issue appeared?
Can't reproduce on v1.6.0 with a monitor either connected or not connected.
The dock seems to have some issues resuming screens from DPMS, when that happens, the external display would stay black and if it was set to primary, then the internal display will remain secondary (black on login screen, unfocused once logged in, appearing "frozen"). @Pokisiekk could this be what you were encountering?
https://github.com/Dasharo/coreboot/pull/344 may also help here.
@mkopec I don't recall having anything connected to the dock, just when it was connected I couldn't log in as described in the issue. Maybe the system version was to blame because IIRC I tested it on Windows 11 21H2.
Docks have been extensively tested by us and confirmed to be no longer an issue starting from v1.5.2 (TGL) and v1.7.2 (ADL). I believe the issue should be closed, @Pokisiekk.
We'll check this issue and close it after confirming it's resolved.
We have tested these docs countless times during the last release cycle.
