Dell Pro Max 16 booting through dock to external monitor-need visual indication of startup
We would like some visual indication or blinking light to check as our new Dell Pro Max 16 boots up. Our previous Dell laptop had LEDs on the case which would flicker and indicate some progress.
The Dock and the monitor are powered on via a Power strip and the Dell Pro Thunderbolt 4 smart dock not easily in view...
We do see a light flicker from the monitor and from the wire-connected mouse...
This is a usability question/comment ....

I agree, this really needs some improvement. We have about 70 MA16250s and 20 MB16250s showing the same behavior. People aren't aware that the system is booting and may press the dock power button again or hold it longer.
