	Dear Tomrip, Thanks for posting your query to the ASRock forum. Regarding your question, kindly see the suggestions below: 1. Please make sure that the thunderbolt card is plugged to the PCIe6 slot. 2. After enabled the thunderbolt support under the BIOS, kindly make sure that thunderbolt driver in the following link is installed. https://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=Thunderbolt%203%20AIC#osW1064 3. Try to re-plug the thunderbolt cable to the thunderbolt port while in the Win10. With thanks, ASRock TSD Edited by ASRock_TSD - 20 Jan 2020 at 12:17pm
