Hello Guys. Inspite of the fact this thunder 2 is becoming old, i made a video about hot plugging the eGPU for those having trouble of getting infinite spinning wheel. Hope it may help some of you guys.

To help those who get stuck on the spinning wheel, i have these tips to suggest. 1. turn on your egpu, connect tb2 to your macbook 2.Turn on mac os (if os is by default the operating system, you dont need to press alt) 3. turn off the macbook from apple logo->shutdown 4. turn on with windows (press alt) Note: keep the egpu turned on and tb2 connected after shutting down the mac from apple logo->shut down. Note: If you are unable to turn on (no chime after pressing the power button), then remove the tb2 cable, turn on windows (by pressing alt), and as soon as you see the spinning wheel, insert the tb2 cable. Basically you have to make sure that the egpu is on and tb2 is connected and have turned on the mac os and then select shut down, which will somehow keep that in the memory of macbook that epgu was connected. never remove the tb2 when the system is on. remove tb2 only when you have problem turning the system back on (no chime after pressing power button), in which case force shut down (press power button for 5 seconds) then remove tb2, then turn back on, press alt after the chime, select windows, enter, and as soon as u see the spinning wheel of windows insert the tb2 cable. this procedure has worked for me with no issues so far. Edit: 30/01/2017 This Process still doesnt work consistently. i am tired of trying different options. it turns on in no time sometime and works flawlessly, and gives me a headache at other time. I am testing new methods and will share my results.
