[CladMaster]

Thunderbolt software / driver version 16.3.61.275 (Download links at the end of this post)

NOTE: Uninstall the old Thunderbolt drivers and reboot the laptop before you install the new drivers. Use the Programs and Features option in the Control Panel to do this.

I have been testing this new driver package over the last week and found it to be stable on my G752VL.
My LaCie (STSF2000400) external drive that's Thunderbolt / USB-C has the Intel DSL3510 (Cactus Ridge) Thunderbolt Controller and is seen without any problems when connected to the USB-C port on my G752VL via a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt adapter from Apple.

PLEASE NOTE:
- This is the last software package supporting Thunderbolt 1 and 2 host controllers
- This is the last software package supporting Windows* 7 and 8.1

This option is not enabled by default and need customized INF/CAT files.

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/sea...rd=Thunderbolt take your pick, I would have no idea which one would be correct for our notebooks?


There is also this website offering it. I have no Idea about this site it just came up in a google search for me and you're on your own if you attempt to download and use it. I would definitely create a Macrium Reflect Disk Image before attempting it.
