How can I get the Thunderbolt 4 port of my computer working again after a clean installation of Windows 10?
If the Thunderbolt 4 port of your computer is not working anymore after you have performed a clean installation of Windows 10, you need to install the Thunderbolt driver again.
Note: If you performed a clean installation of Windows 11, you do not have to install the Thunderbolt driver again as the driver is included in the Windows installation package.
