After disabling Thunderbolt, the second port can no longer be used for Thunderbolt or for USB-C data transfer, but it can still be used for power delivery (i.e. to plug in your AC adapter). If you are unsure about the features of your laptop's USB-C ports, or if you are using a different make or model, please consult the technical specifications of your laptop for further information.
