Product: HP Elite Mini 800 G9 Desktop PC IDS Base Model
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
I have a new HP EliteDesk 800 G9 35W Mini PC with an Intel i5-10500 processor. I tried to install a Thunderbolt3 Flex IO unit but I get the message: “TbtNumDrvHrCtor: PCI device not found status= not found Failed to create a device context for the host”. I had already installed the Thunderbolt3 driver but the message comes up and the system will not boot. I cannot even get into the Start Menu. Can anyone assist me?
