Maybe someone here can help? Latest BIOS, one of the TB3 ports is not working.
I had crashing with Adobe Media Encoder and all the BIOS settings were right - I knew it needed a BIOS update. After the BIOS update, my crashing has been fixed. I can export a full project properly now. However, one TB3 port is not working, the upper one, closest to the onboard HDMI. I reset the BIOS manually for safe measure, then set the TB3 settings as recommended here.

Windows 10 Thunderbolt support |

I did disable Windows 10 Thunderbolt Support. However, as I believe that's needed for it to work at all in Mac. Will try again with it enabled.
I also tried increasing the numbers in the Controller configuration (Extra bus reserved, etc. above) and then it wouldn't boot and I needed to short the CLRTC jumper.
Maybe someone with a newer BIOS and both TB3 ports working can post pictures of their Thunderbolt settings in BIOS? Regardless this is such an odd problem because the settings apply to both ports - so both ports should work or both should not. I can't see why one wouldn't.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
