Points to consider according to Microsoft:
The charging cable doesn’t meet the power requirements for the charger or PC.Some USB chargers, such as micro USB and USB-C chargers, use a proprietary charger. Therefore, your PC might only be able to use a charger from your PC manufacturer.A PC with USB-C connectors has higher power limits than a PC that doesn’t charge using a USB-C connection. USB-C can support up to 5V, 3A, 15W. If the connector supports USB Power Delivery, which is a standard, it can charge faster and at higher power levels.To get the fastest charging time, your PC, charger, and cable must support the industry standards. Your charger and charging cable must support the power levels that the PC needs for the fastest charging time. For example, if your PC requires 12V and 3A for charging, a 5V, 3A charger won’t be the best for charging your PC.
