Hello,
At the time of the P52, only the "ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Workstation Dock Gen 2 (all country power adapters)" was supported.
supported. The TB4 workstation docks are also backwards compatible with TB3. (However, the "old" P52 models are not listed).
GGF. you can keep an eye out on the relevant platforms for a *used* TB3 workstation dock :) --> Lenovo 40AN0230EU It was officially listed in the compatibility list and you can find it at reasonable prices...

if you have a lot of time and leisure look here:

Hi. You only have one HDMI port, but 2 DisplayPorts (but you can only connect 2 screens, so either 1x HDMI and one DisplayPort or 2 x DisplayPort); USB you have 4 ports (but not all supply voltage). I can't say if it works with the Surface because I don't have any experience, Macbook works, but the same thing is displayed on both monitors because Apple apparently doesn't support a protocol that is needed (says the I-Net and I really couldn't get it to work). Hope this helps.

This is not what the docking station is actually intended for. From the manual: "The dock works with notebooks that support industry-standard USB C Alt Mode or Thunderbolt™ protocols through their Type-C™ connector" I have never tried it myself, but I can imagine that the transfer rate is not high enough with a USB 3 adapter. The fact that the power ports work better is probably an indication of that. But there are alternative docking stations from Lenovo with USB 3, or both, USB 3/Thunderbolt ports.

But what else could you try?
- Update the drivers manually
- Update the dock's firmware
- Turn off USB power saving options in DOS.
