What I’ve tried so far: 1. Reinstalled Windows 10 Pro: • Installed a clean copy with no previous drivers. 2. Installed Boot Camp Drivers: • Downloaded the latest Boot Camp support software on macOS and installed the drivers in Windows using the Setup.exe. • After rebooting, the issue remained. 3. Manually Installed GPU Drivers: • Used AMD Cleanup Utility (DDU) to remove all existing GPU drivers. • Downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the Radeon Pro 555X from AMD’s official website. • Installation completed successfully, but the problem is still there. 4. Tried Custom Adrenalin Drivers: • Installed modified AMD Adrenalin drivers tailored for Boot Camp. • Still getting the yellow triangle in Device Manager with the same error (Code 43). 5. Checked Device Manager: • The GPU shows a yellow triangle with an error (Code 43). 6. Additional Steps: • Tried registry tweaks (adding TdrDelay). • The GPU works perfectly fine in macOS, so it doesn’t seem to be a hardware issue.
Additional Info: • The MacBook is being used as a headless Mac (display disconnected, connected to an external monitor). I don’t think this setup should cause any issues, as the GPU works fine in macOS.
Specs: • Model: MacBook Pro 15” 2018 • GPU: Radeon Pro 555X • OS: Windows 10 Pro via Boot Camp
I’m running out of ideas. Could this be a compatibility issue, or am I missing something obvious?
Trying again here. Can anyone help?
Every tutorial I’ve seen involves using USB drives for the installation, but I’ve also read that method is obsolete.
Can someone please point me the best way to do this?
Any advice is appreciated!
Hi ppl, I have the 2019 touch bar Mac book pro. My WiFi package is the 300Mbps one but on bootcamp I'm only getting 30 Mbps. I think thats got summin to do with the CPU driver being an old 2009 one, but I can't update it no matter what I do. I'm using a driver from bootcampdrivers.com for the GPU AMD radeon pro m5300. Rlly could use some help
Also the AMD GPU is not being detected.
I used to run bootcamp completely fine, running intensive games on it as well. Suddenly the WiFi started dying, and even became so bad so that the WiFi option is not present. See photo. I have tried resetting drivers, deleting and reinstalling bootcamp multiple times, and more. Each time I reinstall bootcamp the WiFi works for a while until I have to restart it a few times to boot into Mac and then it doesn’t work on bootcamp. Everything on Mac side works perfectly.
Please help guys
Why Apple wont remake the Bootcamp on ARM Macs? Microsoft now release Windows 11 ARM ISOs.
First off, let me state what I did:
1: download 24H2 ISO
2: Mount it
3: then from cmd, run setup /product server
Have I missed any step? If not, why am I getting the above error while this server install seems to be a universal success for most? Tx in advanced for your help!
Hi, I've just dusted off an old (~2019) MBP, and have been trying to update from Catalina to Sequoia. I have plenty of memory, rom, and a fine high-speed connection. The first step in the upgrade is "Downloading MacOS Sequoia..." which consistenyly errors out after downloading around 10GB of 15GB. There is nothing useful about this error message: "Installation failed", "An error occurred while installing the selected updates." I have the machine caffeinated through the terminal, so it's not related to going to sleep.
I have bootcamp installed, with Windows 10 on a different partition. Does this matter? Do I need to upgrade to an interim version first? Can anyone give any other pointers?
I was trying to install an Intel graphics driver on Windows 10, but my operating system can't detect the graphics hardware in my system. I've tried several drivers, but none of them work. I also attempted to install the driver manually, but I received an error message (Code 31). Could you please help me?
Hi, I have a 2007 iMac (iMac7,1) and I wish to install Windows 7 but without a disc and I'd like to know if it's possible. I have tried to modify the info.plist file of Boot Camp to create a USB installer and it worked but when it restarted it gave me an error: "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I pressed any key and made sure the USB was connected but it didn't do anything, when I restarted into OS X, the drive was not on the startup disk in system preferences, I tried to create another USB installer with BootCamp and it didn't seem to work. Is it possible to install Windows 7 without a disc or should I just give up?
Thanks
TL;DR: Trying to install that Bootcamp Drivers without a display... very close, but I'm missing something.

I've got a 16" 2019 MBP (Intel i7) that I'm trying to get Windows working on so my daughter can play a game she wants to play (Windows only).
I've got an M3 MBP 14" also.
The issue is that the display is broken on the 16", but works fine connected to a display through USB-C.
- I've done a clean install of macOS on the 16", and have run Bootcamp Assistant.
- I created a partition and have successfully installed Windows.
- When I restarted, it installed Windows fine.
- On restart, I had no display input.
- I rebooted into macOS (eventually) and I can connect to the Windows install via Parallels.
- I've done all updates with Microsoft Update (through parallels), but no dice with a restart into "proper" Windows
Currently on Windows 10 Pro 22H2
- I've enabled narrator, and I can login to Windows successfully, but still don't have a display output.
- I've gone back into Parallels and tried to setup Remote Desktop on the Windows install but my 14" doesn't seem to connect (using the _Windows App_ from the App Store)
Note, this may be an issue trying to connect when it's in Parallels.
- I've tried installing the AMD drivers (using Parallels) but it says that no AMD hardware is connected (it should have a 5300M)
- I've created the Bootcamp Assistant USB on my mac but when I try to run `WindowsSupport/Bootcamp/Setup.exd` I get "This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model."
I havent used bootcamp on this computer in a hot minute so i downloaded it just for fun and everything worked and i was able to get back into the mac side. Then after abt 30 mins of playing a game I tried to get back into the Mac partition and now it's stuck in a boot loop.
I have tried the internet recovery window with the globe and it just ends up giving me a 2100F error code after waiting forever.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do next???
On MacOS side my bootcamp is stuck at Downloading Windows support software. No progress in the download at all. I have intel, enough storage etc but it just wont move. Any help?
A while ago, I tried to install Windows 10 on my 2012 MacBook Pro without using a USB drive, just through the Bootcamp app. This was the result. I can access macOS, but the device only powers on with the charger because, apparently, the power button doesn’t do anything at all. Additionally, when turning it on, I have to press Ctrl + Option otherwise, the Mac gets stuck on the white screen and shuts down by itself. (When performing the “command” the fan sounds unusually loud.)
Hello guys, hoping someone was in a similar situation as me when trying to install windows 10. Basically, my MacBooks display is shattered and have been using an external monitor, I want to install windows 10 via bootcamp but when the MacBook restarts, nothing is displayed on my external monitor, I imagine the installation instructions are showing up on my broken screen. Anyone know a way to get around this? Thanks!
This pops up everytime i try to download it, anybody knows how to fix this??
Hi everyone
I have a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro with the following specs:
I don’t really know much about computer systems at all and what each spec does or means to be honest.
But I’m an architecture student, and I love using my MacBook. However, I also have to use a lot of Windows-only software, like V-Ray, and some Rhino plugins that don’t work on macOS.
I’ve tried Parallels before, but its painfully slow, so I’m considering switching to Boot Camp.
I’ve been reading about Boot Camp and I came across Bootcamp Partitioning. I don’t fully understand what that means or how to decide what’s best. I was ready to install it, but now I’m second-guessing it because I don’t want to mess up my system.
If anyone has experience with Boot Camp or advice on the best way to set it up, I’d really appreciate it. I’d also love recommendations for videos or posts that explain the process in detail. Not just how to install it, but also how it works and what the workflow looks like once it’s set up.
when I try to boot up the installation process trough a DVD with windows iso on it it gives me a black screen with a blinking cursor at the left top of the screen occasionally just a black screen
Ciao ragazzi, ho un MacBook Pro 2019 16pollici con Intel i9 9980hk 32GB RAM Radeon Pro 5600m. Non riesco ad far utilizzare su Windows 10 via Bootcamp la eGPU in questione (RX 7600m XT). Ho provato qualsiasi guida trovata sul web, probabilmente anche qualcosa trovata su Reddit, ma nulla…sempre error 12 in gestione dispositivi.
So benissimo che “teoricamente” le eGPU non sono supportate su Bootcamp…ma ho letto che qualcuno ci è riuscito facendo un po’ di ‘magheggi’. Ovviamente tale eGPU non è utilizzabile su MacOS in quanto le Radeon supportate arrivano sino alla serie 6000. Prenderei anche in considerazione una eGPU tipo 6800 in maniera tale che sia utilizzabile sia su Mac e sia su Windows ma rimango con il dubbio che ugualmente non riesca poi ad utilizzarla su Bootcamp…ecco perché prima di vendere la eGPU GPD G1 tento con Voi…
Qualcuno che ha esperienze con eGPU in ambiente Mac + bootcamp?

hey, when my imac reboots into my external drive with the windows installer after using bootcamp it says there is a media driver missing (image attached). is there a driver that i need to get or what? thanks!
I have a 1tb hdd that I want to put boot camp on, when you run windows through efi boot it doesn’t really work as intended which is why I’m not trying that
I recently installed Win 11 Pro on my macbook pro 2011. some things like backlit keyboard, SD Card reader, bluetooth and right click (control + click)and scroll isnt working.
its a straight to SSD install. not using bootcamp and im not dual booting. its the main OS.
is there anyway to manually install drivers? ive tried using device manager and tried using brigadier.
Help! I recently just installed Windows through Boot Camp and the installation went well. However, when I was setting macOS as the default startup disk, it randomly went on a loop of logging in (a blank static page with only the login interface), so perhaps there was some problems with the macOS version.
I wanted to reinstall macOS in my Macintosh HD partition but I needed 6GB more of free storage, and I can't possibly clear my storage from the Recovery Mode, so I completely wiped out the Boot Camp partition, thinking I could get that 129GB of space.
However, I wasn't able to expand my Macintosh HD partition because although the Boot Camp partition was wiped out, the partition still exists.
So what I did was install macOS on the Boot Camp partition, install Windows again (in hopes that I can shrink Boot Camp's partition through MiniTool Partition Wizard) and it didn't work. So I was left with 2 volumes under Boot Camp partition (for the "installed macOS" and Windows), and Macintosh HD still can't be expanded.
So I just thought of accessing my files on Macintosh HD partition and free up 6GB of space to be able to reinstall macOS (to get out of the startup loop). But before I reinstalled macOS, I ran Boot Camp Assistant again to remove the Windows partition (because I have Boot Camp partition: macOS & Windows, and Macintosh HD partition: original macOS) so the Boot Camp partition won't be separate anymore. And voila, it worked, and I got into my original macOS.
However, when I tried removing the Boot Camp partition completely through Boot Camp Assistant, it won't let me. Please help!
I have 2019 MBP 16, Yes, the absolute last intel chipset, bootcamp compatible MBP: i9-2.4G, 32Gb/2Tb w/ 5500m/8Gb discrete GPU running Win11 Pro, even with automatic updated turned on, seem to be stuck at 21H2 although I'm getting security updates. Hence I'm curious what you guys are running before I get my hands dirty... Pls state your w11 version and your Mac model.
Tx and Happy New Year!
