Is it dell docking station, tha new one with usb-c? It always powers on the laptop as soon I switch the power cord and sometime reboots a laptop insted of shutting it down.
It is a Dell, but an older one. But it seems like the same issue. When not in the docking station, it behaves like it is supposed to. I did check the bios for "power up on AC/usb/etc" except for WOL that's all set right.

It is my work pc and I'm not allowed to boot Linux in any way, so I'm not sure if it's a Windows thing, or the station itself is malfunctioning.
Hmm. I have a few of these docking stations, I mever had that issue before, I installed/booted all kinds of Linux distros on it, never was an issue until RHEL/Centos 8
