AOC E1759FWU only works on some USB ports on a machine

Good morning,

I recently purchased an external monitor from AOC, the E1759FWU model.
I have three PCs: 2 desktops (Based respectively on an MSI X99s SLI Plus and a Gigabyte AORUS Z170) and 1 one laptop (MSI GT70 from 2012).

I could only make my monitor work on only one PC, and it has to be plugged on the front USB plugs, otherwise no picture if I plug it on the rear of my rig. Since I can make it work on one PC (the desktop one with the MSI motherboard) and not on the others, the only conclusion I can draw at this moment is that you messed up something with the communication between the driver and the USB 3.0 controllers.

The symptom is that the screen is kind of recognized by the driver, but the external screen does not appear in the Device Management window under the "Graphics Device" section.

And before you ask: yes, I do have the latest version of Intel's host controller driver.
