Today, I found an article by Leandro Glossman called “Custom updated Tb3 drivers”. Every once in awhile, I would get the adapter to work for a brief period of time, but a reboot always disabled the device. I tried downgrading and upgrading to every driver I could find, including the newer Marvel drivers (Marvel acquired Aquantia some time ago), but nothing worked. However, all of them stopped working after the first reboot, showing errors in Device Manager. Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet AdapterĪll of them worked perfectly at 10Gbe the first time they were plugged in.I tried the following 10Gbe TB3 adapters: Windows, Bootcamp, and Thunderbolt 10Gbe adaptersĪll of the 10G Thunderbolt network adapters out there advertise that they work in both OS X and Windows, so I thought it would be easy to get them working in Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro. This seems to fix the issue with 10Gbe Thunderbolt network adapters that use Aquantia chipsets (could be all of them). Tldr: follow these instructions from Leandro Glossman to get a trusted self-signed Thunderbolt driver that supports the MacBook Pro. When I looked into Thunderbolt in general, this fix surfaced quickly. I had been trying to get a TB 10Gbe network adapter working and had been focusing on troubleshooting the adapter itself. After weeks of troubleshooting, I finally found a solution that seems to be working. I cannot believe how much of a pain it has been to get Thunderbolt devices to work properly in Windows on a MacBook Pro.
