Hi
@YukonCharlie:
I was having problems with thunderbolt, not like you, but couldn't update the drivers, so I did the following and by this order:
1 - Follow this link instructions:
[Notebook] Troubleshooting - How to fix the USB Type-C problems ? | Official Support | ASUS Global2 - In Device Manager, under System Devices (my Windows is in Portuguese, so I'm not sure it's this name) locate Thunderbolt controller and do the following:
Right click;
Update controller;
Seek controller in computer;
Enable choosing from a list of available controllers in your PC;
Choose the last version (most recent), the one you downloaded from Asus website. If the driver version that you downloaded doesn't appear in means that it wasn't installed and you have to install it correctly;
Restart your laptop;
Verify again that, now, the version installed for the Thunderbolt is the right one, by going again to device manager, but this time right click thunderbolt, then properties and see in the controller tab that the version is equal to the one you want;
Verify if now the monitor works...
If the monitor still doesn't work, you should download older driver versions from Asus Website, repeat the process of installing the version you want, till you find one that makes the monitor work again.
3 - Once the monitor works, open Microsoft store and install thunderbolt control center.
Please, give the community feedback to know if it worked.
Good luck!!
