Thunderbolt Display on Windows 10 Boot Camp

Hi All -


I'm having troubles with my thunderbolt display on windows 10 for boot camp. If I power up my mac with my thunderbolt display connected all works fine on my windows 10 boot camp.


However if I am already on windows 10 boot camp and I plug in my thunderbolt display it doesn't read it and so I can't connect.


Can anyone help me with this problem?


Thanks in advance!

From Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support,


1. Are Thunderbolt devices “hot pluggable” using Windows with Boot Camp?

Thunderbolt hot plug is supported under Windows 8 or 8.1 on all 2014 and later Mac computers.

For all other Mac computers, Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 scans and activates Thunderbolt devices connected to Thunderbolt ports only during the Windows startup process. If your device was not plugged in at start up, Windows will not detect it without a restart.

W10 is not any different.
