Q: Is Boot Camp SS 5.1.5640 the latest driver?
Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640
Hi is this the latest driver? it seems to be published on Feb 11, 2014. I have an iMac 5K so it is way older than that. When I install Windows I also ticked download the latest boot camp driver, So I guess that is covered?. But when I went into the Bootcamp Manager it does not allow me to select display brightness setting.
Apple broadcom Built-in Bluetooth driver seems to be provided by Apple and dated 16/1/14, with driver version 5.1.0.0
I am only asking because my USB 3.0 powered external hard drive docks have been crashing during file transfer, I have Windows 8.1 Pro (updated to the latest that Windows Update can update).

The brightness can be adjusted using the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
I hope Apple updates the USB drivers, currently for the xHCI it is using a Microsoft driver from October, As I only have 256GB, all my drives are external using USB 3.0, because thunderbolt docks are way too expensive. I have been tinkering a bit, trying to figure out the disconnections for my drives, I hope I have fixed it, As I have disabled all the sleeping states for USB, Hard disk as well, see how it goes.
I have 2 external usb hard drive docks, and both of them failed to work reliably with disconnections. Trying to play steam games like Wolfenstien results in disconnections every 10 or so minutes.
