Why the 2x USB-C stopped work?

I received the Mini-PC on 12/03/2021

None of us work for PCS just to let you know, we're just techies who like to help out.

If you can read through the following and post the extra information?

Thank you.
The obvious question is 'what changed yesterday?'. If something was working and now it's not then something has changed. So what changed?

That's my question, I didn't change anything.

The drivers and windows are updated.

So why stopped working the USB-C / Thunderbolt

The same USB Hub used on this PC bought from PC SPECIALIST the USB Hub it's working on another computer and laptop, so the problem is on the PC bought from PC SPECIALIST

You may not have changed anything but clearly something changed.

Were there any Windows updates immediately prior to the problem? These are automatic.
Were there any software updates prior to the problem? These can also be automatic.

Establishing what changed is the key to resolving this.
The drivers and windows are updated.

So why stopped working the USB-C / Thunderbolt
Does the USB port work as a data port? At Thunderbolt speeds?
Does it charge devices?
Does it output video to a dedicated monitor (not through the hub)?
It's important that you test the port (without the hub) to establish whether it's working fully or not. All you know at the moment is that it doesn't work with the hub - but that's not proof that it doesn't work at all.
The same USB Hub used on this PC bought from PC SPECIALIST the USB Hub it's working on another computer and laptop, so the problem is on the PC bought from PC SPECIALIST
A software or configuration problem is a hundred times more likely to be the cause than a hardware problem. You can help yourself here by looking to see what Windows updates have been applied, what application updates have been applied, etc. You may not have knowingly changed anything but that doesn't mean that nothing changed.

That device doesn’t have thunderbolt in case I’m missing something? It only has usb c which is just a data port.

Also, I don't think the windows and driver update or software it's causing this issue.

Because in the other computer and laptop are updated the windows and drivers or, the same software is installed.

In the specs:
USB/Thunderbolt Options2 x USB 3.1 PORTS (Type C) + 3 x USB 3.1 PORTS

The 2x USB 3.1 PORTS (Type C) is not working.

But it’s a different laptop? You still need to check windows updates.

It's a different laptop, but it's updated the windows 10 and drivers, I checked, it's the same update, only the drivers are different.
