Thunderbolt software / driver version 16.3.61.275 (Download links at the end of this post)
NOTE: Uninstall the old Thunderbolt drivers and reboot the laptop before you install the new drivers. Use the Programs and Features option in the Control Panel to do this.
I have been testing this new driver package over the last week and found it to be stable on my G752VL.
My LaCie (STSF2000400) external drive that's Thunderbolt / USB-C has the Intel DSL3510 (Cactus Ridge) Thunderbolt Controller and is seen without any problems when connected to the USB-C port on my G752VL via a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt adapter from Apple.
