You probably already figured this out, but I found the fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go into the BIOS and locate the GPIO3 Force Pwr option in the Thunderbolt Settings. (I think it was the deepest Thunderbolt menu I could find on the Z390.)
Enable GPIO3 Force Power
Boom!
At the same spot here. Alpine Ridge driver installed on Windows. Anything I plugin on the Windows side works flawlessly.
Mojave will not pickup the Alpine Ridge card, and I've been looking everywhere for support to get this work on macOS with my Z390. Considering rolling back to High Sierra...

I'll let ya'll know if I stick with Lion after tuning up my system.
The weirdest part is the Lion system is on a striped RAID with an i5 and the Snow Leopard system has a single, 300 GB hard drive with a 2.5 gHz core2duo.
