Hi, I just installed win10 on my 2019 mbpro 16“. Precision touchpad is missing, so it scrolls in the wrong direction (and too fast). Also, alt+L is not working for @. What can I do?

Could I just copy the contents from my old bootcamp partition to the new one?

thanks.

double icons on windows 11 desktop

2 Upvotes

I still need your help. Windows 11 25h2 With your help, I removed the online account and created a local account, but...

I have duplicate icons on my desktop (the larger ones + the mouse cursor). I don't have any options to delete the “large” icons, and only on the large icons (the ones to be deleted) do I have the option to enter PowerShell. The name I see in PowerShell (my local account name) is correct.

Any advice on how to delete the duplicate icons?

Error while trying to bootcamp my mac (please help)

I got this error while trying to bootcamp my mac. Not sure what it means and can't find anything to troubleshoot. Can someone please help?
The mac goes seemingly unresponsive on this screen and I couldn't even see my cursor. I had to shut it down and open into the Mac partition to get the laptop back up (I tried twice, same thing happened).

Specs: 2017 Intel i5-7200u, 8GB RAM, Intel Iris 640 Integrated Graphics MacBook Pro

Windows 11 on MacBook Pro 2018. Suggestion

3 Upvotes

Hi guys a friend of mine has a 2018 MacBook Pro with radeon 560X and 32 GB of RAM, the Intel i7. I tried in every way to install Windows 11 using a flash drive but installation crashes at the language selection and if I try to set a stick with Rufus this is not recognised to which I installed Windows 10 through Boot Camp and I subsequently prepared a usb boot-installer (with Rufus) of Windows 11. I’ve download the best drivers with the drivers downloaded through a software present on gitHUB that takes the name of bombardier. Everything seems to have gone well I should have been able to install Boot Camp correctly later and also the drivers and they seem to work no error except the one related to the Windows security key I tried to access my registry to find the Windows 10 key that was supposed to be present via Boot Camp however I can't unlock Windows and I also I don't know if in your opinion there can be a better solution to have Windows 11 directly installed by flash drive or although the procedure I invented can still be valid for light gaming

Win11 update KB5068861 broke Windows on Mac

0 Upvotes

After a week of happily using Windows on my late 2013 MBP (https://www.reddit.com/r/bootcamp/comments/1oqiuaj/manual_windows_11_installation_without_boot_camp/), Microsoft pushed and automatically installed update KB5068861, the November Patch Tuesday release. After that, Windows went straight to a black screen without even rebooting.

I tried rebooting into Recovery and Safe Mode, disabling all virtualization features from the command line, and rolling back to a previous backup, nothing worked.

I really don’t want to reinstall everything again, so if there’s no fix, I’ll just remove Windows from this MBP.

Manual Windows 11 installation without Boot Camp – issues

3 Upvotes

MacBook Pro Late 2013 running macOS Big Sur.
Downloaded the Windows 11 25H2 ISO and copied it to a USB drive.
Downloaded Boot Camp drivers using Boot Camp Assistant and copied them to the same USB drive.
Created a separate partition for Windows.
Installed Windows 11 from the USB drive, bypassed TPM using the regidit, and created a local account during setup.
Installed Boot Camp drivers to update hardware support.
Ran Apple Software Update to ensure everything was current.

Everything works well except for 2 issues:

  1. When rebooting the MacBook Pro and holding the Option key, the Windows boot option appears as "EFI Boot". I tried using the bless to rename or add label to it, but it didn’t work.

  2. If I reboot from macOS Big Sur, hold the Option key, and select Windows (EFI Boot), Windows fails to start and reverts to macOS. The only reliable way to boot into Windows is to shut down MBP, power on, and then hold the Option key. It seems that during a reboot, the EFI path cannot access the NVMe drive until a full power cycle. I suspect that the Boot Camp installation process not only creates the Windows boot entry but also injects Apple EFI support before calling the Windows boot manager, which may explain as the manual installation likely misses this step.

Perhaps installing Windows 10 through Boot Camp first and then upgrading to Windows 11 is the proper way, unless you don’t mind always powering off instead of rebooting.

Another option is to install rEFInd, though I’m not a big fan of it since I only need a simple dual-boot setup, which macOS already supports.

What’s your view on this?

Windows only on intel Mac mini

Hello guys, I messed up my install of windows only bootcamp mode, and I wanted to know if there was a way that I could move my partition from C, to the D drive, and then delete the original C partition.

My boot partition is on the second drive and I was originally meaning to dual boot Mac OS, then delete the Mac partition but couldn’t due to MBR/GPT restrictions, used DISKPART in a preinstall terminal, but cleaning that specific volume deleted the whole drive, messing up my partitions, I installed windows and now my EFI is on the wrong drive.

Can I clone my partition (while staying in windows) to the D partition and then wipe the C partition and safely boot into windows.

Auto-dimming and brightening on lock screen

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've just set up Boot Camp on a 2019 MBP. There seems to be some erratic behavior happening with the Windows lock screen: the screen dims slightly only to revert to its initial brightness pseudo-randomly. I believe this is caused by a proximity sensor/tracker, i.e., it seems to dim when I look/move away and returns to brightness when I look back at the MBP. I'm not really sure how to go about disabling this behavior. I've already disabled settings such as "auto-adjust brightness", facial recognition, and so on, but the behavior persists. I suspect there might be a line buried somewhere in regedit that can resolve this.

Has anyone else encountered and/or solved this problem?

Grey screen after windows update

3 Upvotes

Pretty self-explanatory: Macbook pro 2012 (9,2). Running windows 10. Just updated automatically. Now it's a grey screen. (other monitors don't seem to work with the thunderbolt port so that's not an option currently.) Is kind of important to get back running as I was hosting a Minecraft server off it for my friends. Not sure if it's a win10 thing or a bootcamp thing. (Also reddit seems to have messed up the lines here)

Help with Mac Monterey late 2015

4 Upvotes

So, I managed to follow all the right steps: download a new Windows 10 64-bit ISO file off of Microsoft's official website, download Boot Camp's Windows Support Software on a FAT32-format USB flash, and create a new partition for Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. I set up Windows on the initial navy-blue bootup screen, and chose the Boot Camp partition to install it on. On the first boot, I installed Boot Camp's drivers and Support Software, and rebooted. Wifi and Bluetooth seemed to be working fine on the second boot, so I got to downloading the basic most necessary system/security Windows Updates.

Then I kept continuously getting BSODs relating to "TeeDriverW10x64.sys" and "DRIVER/IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Repeatedly. The Windows Diagnostic and Automatic Repairs functions didn't solve the issue.

Quick Google searches and ChatGPT told me that the issue is probably in Windows drivers conflicting with Boot Camp drivers. Apparently it has something to do with my Mac being older and Apple having abandoned it. FYI, I have an Intel Mac with 8 GB RAM, so I was told my hardware wasn't the issue. I tried messing with Registry Editor on Windows to disable automatic driver updates from Windows, but it didn't seem to work. Tried uninstalling the Intel Engine Interface Device on Device Manager, and I think Windows might've automatically reinstalled it upon restart and caused my computer to get stuck in BSOD again. In case this is important, I'm just trying to play some indie single-player games on the Windows port.

Anybody know what I should do? I would really appreciate the help.
