WD19TBS "Not Connected" to 9570 Solved
I had the issue of a new WD19TBS doc not connecting to my 9570. I had never used the Thunderbolt function on the computer for any more than power. In an attempt to fix I tried the update Thunderbolt drivers (without deleting the old drivers) and it would fail every time.
After searching for methods of resolving this issue, I stumbled upon a solution that fixed my issue quickly and without having to delete files and reinstall drivers.
- Ensure you have latest update files installed from the Dell update site.
- Plug computer into dock.
- Type "Thunderbolt" into the search bar on Windows 11.
- Open Thunderbolt Control Center.
- You should see the dock listed and at the bottom says "Disconnected".
- Click the word "Disconnected"
- Set dock to "Always Connect"
- Confirm dock now shows "Connected"
- Job done.
This immediately fixed this issue of my computer not connecting to the dock. All ports immediately showed up in Device Manager, ethernet port began communicating and a quick test with a USB drive confirmed dock is communicating.
I hope this helps anyone who is having the same troubles/frustrations.
