Thunderbolt 2.0 hot plug problems Windows 10

TL;DR:

For some reason hot plugging my Thunderbolt dock is not working correctly on my new laptop. I am trying to determine if I've overlooked a troubleshooting step.

Problem:

If the dock is unplugged after the system has already booted then my USB devices (mouse & keyboard) will not reconnect when the dock is reconnected. Thunderbolt monitor reconnects, but not USB. No power is provided to the keyboard or mouse - keyboard lights do not illuminate & optical sensor on the mouse stays dark. This is resolved with a reboot, but the problem persists.

Hardware / Software:

• Dell Precision M3800
  
• BIOS A09 (previously upgraded to A10 before motherboard replacement)
  
• Windows 10 (direct upgrade from Windows 7 64 Bit Professional )
  
• Belkin Thunderbolt 2 Express Dock HD
  
• Thunderbolt (TM) Controller - 157D
  
  • Device manager hardware ID "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_157D&SUBSYS_11112222&REV_00"
    
  • This is an Intel hardware ID (fitting as Intel makes Thunderbolt)
    
• GRUB bootloader
  
  • Kali Linux on second hard drive partition
    

Attempted fixes: (None of these solved the problem)

• All Intel Chipset drivers reinstalled from Dell's website via their tech support's recommendation
  
• Driver update on Thunderbolt controller yields "Software for your device is up to date"
  
• "Fresco logic USB3.0 host controller" reinstalled
  
• Upgraded original OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10
  
• Upgraded system BIOS from A09 to A10
  
• Had Belkin directly replace the docking station with a new one
  
• Had Dell directly replace the system motherboard
  
  • The new board has the A09 BIOS
    
• Stopped and started Thunderbolt (TM) service
  
• Booted into Safe mode
  
  • Thunderbolt works on boot but the thunderbolt service cannot run in safe mode
    
  • Hot plugging fails to work correctly in safe mode
    
• All Thunderbolt devices involved have been authorized in the "Thunderbolt TM Software" and set to "Always Connect"
  

Other Notes:

• An identical Precision M3800 and Belkin dock were ordered at the same time as my own
  
  • This other laptop does not have the same problems mine does with hot plugging
    
  • This other "working" laptop has been used with both docks w/o problems hot plugging
    
  • The "non-working" laptop has the same problems hot plugging with both docks
    
  • The working laptop has Windows 10 loaded onto it - it was also upgraded from x64 7 Pro
    
  • The working laptop does not have GRUB or a second OS installed
    
• Cannot locate drivers for the "Thunderbolt 157D controller" on Intel's website.
  
  • It is possible that this is a rebadged controller they are already manufacturing; complete dearth of information.
    

Last Thoughts:

• Is there anything obvious I am overlooking?
  
• Is there some problem with hot plugging when GRUB is installed or a second OS is on a system?
  
• Are there any pieces of system software that typically interfere with hot plugging thunderbolt devices?
  
• With this description would a fresh OS reinstall likely fix the issue?
  

Apologies for the length of this post; thus far commercial tech support has been limited and time consuming. I am hopeful that someone in the community may already be familiar with this issue.
