Feb 2, 2016 6:48 PM in response to Drew Beckwithby Loner T,If it is a 2015 model and you have W10 installed, there are very nasty issues as Windows Automatic Update pushes driver updates which break W10. Most common is the Intel GPU driver.
You can either boot in Windows Safe mode and remove the driver and re-install the one that Apple BC driver package provides, or re-install Windows, but disable Automatic Updates.

and where do I disable Automatic updates?

Feb 3, 2016 5:30 PM in response to Drew Beckwithby Loner T,Since your W10 installation does boot and stay up about 30 minutes, use Shift+Restart.

What to i type is the name of the driver i need to delete (what do i put in after pnputil.exe -d ??) to add?

Feb 5, 2016 4:42 PM in response to Drew Beckwithby Loner T,Use pnputil -e to list the available drivers. Once you have a list, find the INF name from the Intel Iris driver. Use pnputil -d to remove the INF, which should also cleanup the Driver store and remove files associated with the specific driver.

Feb 5, 2016 4:50 PM in response to Loner Tby Drew Beckwith,There are a lot of drivers that have a intel driver package provider but i can't seem to find an intel Iris driver. Would that be next to Published name, Driver package provider, class, driver date and version, or signer name?
