Mac Mini M4 16GB Just updated to Tahoe from Sequoia and I have a USB hub (TB cable to standard brand USB 4 socket hub) plugged into the TB rear port but now not working on any of the rear TB ports but works on the front USB-C ports, is this something that Tahoe changed?... Thanks if anyone can help !

No, but try disconnecting and reconnecting it. When you say "its not working" can you clarify? Are you getting power, any errors?
 
Tried that first up and lots of re-starts etc, the hub is https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01DYD3Q28?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1 and was fine off the back TB USB port on the mini but re-boot after update to Tahoe and not working on all TB ports but OK on the front USB-C ports. I dont have any USB-C type connector devices to try the ports with one item but have orderded some little USB-C to standard USB adapters to see if its the hub not compatible with Tahoe.... boy do I wish I had not of clicked the update message !

Somehow that link goes to a different hub its this one I have....

Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub, Ultra-Slim 5Gbps USB-C OTG Hub with 2 ft Extended Cable, for MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, Surface Pro, XPS, PC, Flash Drive, Mobile HDD (Charging Not Supported)​

 
FIX........unplugged the devices attached to the hub one at a time and unplugging a USB switch box I had off the hub made it work again, was able to re-plug the switch box and carried on working ok ... so I guess something random with the USB switch box
 
I have a complex setup with a lot of peripherals - drives, DACS, and MIDI. macOS device enumeration for USB and TB is plain BUGGY.
