My XPS 13 has just had a firmware update, and now my USB C Displayport adapter will not work properly. It works for display and peripherals when my charging lead is unplugged. The moment I plug it in to the adapter, the display + peripherals disconnect and even the charging is not passed through to my laptop.

This is the adapter, just a generic cheap one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Y6D7WB7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any idea on how I could diagnose and fix this?
 
Yes, I meant how could I fix this without rolling back the firmware :p should've been clearer. Are there any software/BIOS settings to look at that could affect this?
