Microsoft confirms Thunderbolt Dock may not work on Windows 10 platform

The official support information released by Microsoft shows that it has been confirmed that all versions of Windows 10 may have problems with devices using Thunderbolt Dock. This problem mainly affects the devices connected with the Thunderbolt Dock. After the devices are connected normally, the system may not be able to detect the Thunderbolt Dock devices. There is also a case where even when the system detects and connects to the Thunderbolt Dock device normally, these devices still fail to work when trying to run.

In terms of version, on a computer that is running Windows 10, version 1909, 1903, 1809, 1803, or 1709, devices connected through a Thunderbolt Dock stop working after the computer resumes from the S5 power state.
