USB C Gigabit ethernet adapters wont work in Windows 10 unless I boot into a Linux distro first?

First off, if there is a better place or forum to ask this, I will take suggestions. I haven’t gone to any Linux forums because most of the ones I looked at did not want to support anything specifically Windows related, and this is primarily an issue in Windows....

greencoil OP ,

I am on the latest BIOS for the GPD Win Max 2. Judging off of their email response, I won’t keep my hopes up that they will release anything to fix this. There were problems with video out on USB C hubs that they fixed with a BIOS update, but that was much earlier in the handhelds life span. They haven’t done any BIOS updates since then.

The hub/docks in question do not have any drivers on the manufacturers website. They are advertised as plug and play. I have been occasionally updating my AMD chipset drivers as they come, but so far the updates have made no difference for this issue.

Ironically, I did have to disable XHCI on one of the ports to fix a issue with the dual SD card reader on this device, reducing it to USB 2.0 speeds. I toggled that setting back to see if it had any effect on the ethernet port, but no dice. I did find a toggle for xHCI handoff enable/disable; toggling it did not seem to have an effect on the ethernet port either.
