I was able to trace the apparent non linear behaviour of the switch. So if I reboot the computer from Ubuntu to windows I got the switch to work on Windows. But if I shutdown the computer and boot directly to windows it doesn't work. I will check the drivers I have because I remember I did an update a couple of weeks ago not sure which ones I installed anymore.
