I did these steps:
For those who have GC-Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 PCI-e card:

• Advanced Mode > Settings > Thunderbolt(TM) Configuration > Security Level > No Security
• Advanced Mode > Settings > Thunderbolt(TM) Configuration > Discrete Thunderbolt Configuration > GPIO3 Force Pwr > Enabled

But it's not working, any idea?

The internal USB2 headers are disabled in my EFI folders. If you want them active, you will have to re-do the USB ports kext on your own. But why would you want to waste the Thunderbolt ports for USB2 devices???

Yes, first you would have to enable the USB2 that is passed through from the Thunderbolt card.

But it's weird because I disconnect the F_USB1 of my wifi adapter card to connect the usb of the Thunderbolt and USB ports(usb hub) are not work either
