I have a problem because the webcam built into iMac Pro does not behave as it should. Instead of showing the normal picture format in 16: 9 aspect ratio, it shows 4: 3.
I've already installed the Boot Camp driver update, but it does not do anything, because the camera drivers are from 2006.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
iMac Pro, macOS 10.14

You should have the 2016 driver, not the 2006 driver. You should have a .exe file in the Apple Drivers folder on the USB.
This requires a bit of work. You should first create a Windows System Restore point.
You can uninstall the 2006 driver, delete the device, remove the 2006 driver from the DrvStore using pnputil.exe, and then manually install the 2016 driver. If you reboot in the middle, the 2006 driver will come back. The current driver is a generic USB camera driver.
I think I do not understand. Does the driver, which is from the boot camp package, have a driver, but not the one to which it should be?
And how is the situation? Did you manage to fix something to solve the problem?
I tried, but the system automatically installs it again.
I will test this on a Mac that has USBc, which should result in an iBridge Camera. It will take me about a week.
Ok. Let me know what the result was.
And how?
I have not yet been able to test it. I will try in the next couple of weeks.
But here it is not just about the camera. It's about the boot camp installer, because no drivers are installed on the new ones.
That's how it looks, but unfortunately I have installed drivers from 2006. And in this it shows that the installation has passed successfully.
Your issue is then related to the drivers used by each of these applications or the settings they use to start the Camera. The Camera App uses the natively-installed driver, as you can see in the iBridge configuration.
Take one application as an example, contact it's manufacturer, and show them the difference between the Camera App and their App and ask them.
Ok, I'm still after fixing some problems. Drivers that install from the boot camp assistant do not install at all, because the bluetooth and broadcom drivers are also from 2006. But we can find newer ones in the newly downloaded driver package. So what's the problem, that you do not want to overwrite anything? Today I've tested several types of Windows several times - Home and the Pro version. One and the other version has exactly the same problem. I also tried to do it in a way to install the system, but not to connect it to the internet so that it could not download anything. It also gives nothing. Also, the problem lies with the boot camp driver installer. At least i think so. I am asking for help, because I need a working Windows system to do my job. And he must walk steadily. And once again, it's true that it's not just about the camera, but about all the components that are not updated.
Focusing on the drivers may not be the appropriate path forward. Ask OBS, that your Camera app supports 16:9, but their software does not. Provide your Mac Model Identifier to OBS and let them test in their labs.
UVC drivers have been available for many years.
I am talking here about the installer from the boot camp assistant during a fresh installation of Windows 10. The moment I go through the first configuration, then the system turns on and after a while the first installation of drivers from the boot camp. And this installer does not install anything despite notification of successful installation. Drivers for video card, camera, network card and other devices have old drivers. Windows does not install them alone, because at the moment when I installed a fresh system I configured it without connecting to the network, which would make it impossible to download the software for given devices automatically.
I do see the correct aspect ratio at 1920x1080. Create a Windows System Restore point. Right-click on the FaceTime camera in the device manager and check if you can Update driver.
