Windows 10: Unable to detect Thunderbolt display through Thunderbolt 4 port on Windows

Hi


I have a w10 laptop that has a Thunderbolt 4 port. Technically speaking, thunderbolt ports are supposed to be backward compatible. However, when I am trying to plus in my old Thunderbolt Display that was a T2 and with a T3 adapter, the Thunderbolt Control Centre detects "Port1"but i am unable to select and approve it. Is it because Thunderbolt on Windows is unable to run an Apple Thunderbolt display?


would really appreciate the advice. Since the display is just a display with a thunderbolt connection i thought I could switch over to the windows system.


Thank you.

Windows 10 Display not Detected on MacbookPro via Thunderbolt MiniDisplay port

Hi,

I have the exact same issues with my Macbook Air and my MacBook Pro running Windows 10 via Bootcamp.

I have tried all the things you have listed above plus used different cables and TVs from various manufacturers and still did not manage to get anything to work.

Windows 10 ignores the displays I am trying to connect through the thunderbolt port, whether it is directly through a thunderbolt cable or a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. These displays do not show up in the device manager under the monitors heading either.

There is one detail though - in case I connect two monitors to my MacBook Pro, one through the HDMI port and one through the thunderbolt port, the display settings menu shows options for two displays and these two displays are are assigned a number from
1 to 3 (e.g. 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 1 and 3), and I am only able to select the configurations that involve my internal laptop screen and the monitor I connect through the HDMI port. Hence it seems that the thunderbolt output is detected in some peculiar way, however
Windows neither sends any video signal through the port nor manages to identify the monitor connected.

This issue was not present in Windows 8.1 in either of my laptops.

thunderbolt 3 to displayport adapter

Hi John,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that inconvenience you are facing when the things may not work as expected.

1. What is the make and model of the computer?
   
   
   

When the Thunderbolt 3 is used with certain eighth generation Intel processor-based Windows 10 systems, there is a possibility that the two USB 3.0 ports on the back of the dock (closest to the Ethernet port)
may not be recognized properly by the operating system.





However, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and let us know if that helps.

1. Disconnect the pluggable Thunderbolt 3 dock from the system and remove its power cable to turn off completely.
   
2. Uninstall the Intel ‘Thunderbolt Software’ present on your system via the Control Panel ->
   Programs and Features and restart the device once.
   
3. Download and install the latest version of the Intel Thunderbolt Software published by your system manufacturer. If you are unable to obtain this download from your system manufacturer, you can download a version directly from Intel
   here -> https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...-Driver-for-Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC8i7HNK-NUC8i7HVK
   
4. Restart the system once again.
   
5. Reconnect the power cable to the pluggable Thunderbolt 3 dock, and then reconnect the Thunderbolt 3 cable from the dock to your system.
   
6. You should be prompted to authenticate/approve the dock. Follow the onscreen prompts for the completion of the process and check the status of the issue.
   

If the issue still persists I suggest you to get in touch with the
Thunderbolt support for the further assistance.





Hope it helps.
