You may need to go into the BIOS and look for Thunderbolt security settings and turn them off.

I have "no security" set in BIOS so that's not the problem. For info: VGA port is working fine.

On model EliteBook 102. I setup in bios PCIe and DisplayPort – No Security. Reboot install firmware, works fine.

 

 

 

On Model HP ZBook Studio G4, there is no option to change?

Thanks for the screenshot @arif_usman. I have a similar setting in my Zbook 15 G3, which needed to be adjusted to use a Tbolt dock. I can try to find a BIOS emulator for the Studio G4 but I am pretty sure its BIOS also have such an option.

hi Huffer,

   Please let me know what you have found. i browsed around and didn't find...thx for your help

HP Recommended

If you Uncheck 'Require BIOS PW to change TBT SL' then go to the Thnunderbolt Security Level dropdown menu, PCIe and Displayport - No Security will be available.
