TB16 Ethernet and usb not/stop working.

I have over 10 xps13 and a P5520 all up to date with the latest updates both Dell command update and Windows 10 pro updates, and the TB16's all stopped working... Ethernet works for 5 min, then comes and goes for 5 min until finally vanishing... the adapter no long shows in network properties.  The USB ports also don't work.  The display port passes signal to a second monitor though... 

 

Uninstalling the drivers hangs the computers. Repairing the driver hangs the computer.  Fresh installs of Windows

same as above.  Works for a bit... and dies...  3 different docks... same exact behavior.. 

 

Help, please!!!

Do you have Citrix Receiver installed?  Your symptoms sound a lot like a known incompatibility between the TB16's USB host controller driver (which would break USB, Ethernet, and audio) and older versions of Citrix Receiver.  The fix is to download a newer version of Receiver straight from Citrix.

That was exactly what it was.  Good catch thanks.

I have the same problem on a 7490.

None of the methods described before is solving the issue.

When I recover my laptop from sleep, the ethernet + usb do not want to work.

Only the screens are working.

How can I solve this problem?

Same issue here.  I have a Precision 3520.  I actually have 2 of these docks and have issues with both.  Cant figure it out.

Same problem here. Two Dell 5510, each with a TB16. Stopped working in July. Display works fine. USB and Ethernet not working.

Tried to uninstall/reinstall ASMedia and Thunderport Controller without any effect.

No Citrix installed

I tried installing all new drivers and also new Citrix receiver and still USB, ethernet and audio jacks do not work. VGA monitor works. I can charge my phone with USB port but that's it. External drive will pop in and out until it goes completely out.

I found the solution for the same issue which I was having as well...

If changing the Power Output and turning off "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power..." does not work.

Access Device Manager > System Devices > Thunderbolt(TM) Controller - 15D9 > Update driver

After updating and getting prompt, select "Always Connect"

 

Now it is working just fine. Hope this information helped!

I've tried installing Cirtix and the Controller Driver, they're all the latest versions and my USB ports still don't work. Any other ideas??
