Hi Mike,

You did not specify what provides the USB-C port.

I suppose that your USB-C port is actually a Thunderbolt 3 port from an Intel controller.

What you describe is a well known bug that affects all Thunderbolt 3 ports and this bug has always existed in Linux, including until now.


I also have a Dell laptop, some Intel NUCs and some ATX motherboards with Thunderbolt 3 ports, all of which have this bug.

On the other hand, all the USB C ports that I have seen, which are connected to other USB controllers, e.g. from ASMedia, those work normally, they do not have this bug.

Best regards !
