@Talanga,
just saw your GB Z690 Aero D BIOS, you don't have a BIOS Thunderbolt auto-update. That mean like on previous Gigabyte board (Designare or Vision D), you should locate SOIC8 component that include Thunderbolt firmware (usually on bottom of the board around thunderbolt connectors, if not, on top under Gigabyte designed cover).
If you can read/write this component like done on Z390 Designare (CH341A method), you are invited to attach your stock firmware file and we will patch it for you and for all users that own this
NICE mobo
