Please provide me a working keyboard driver

MacBook air Catalina mid2013 windows 10 bootcamp.

error: KeyMagic.sys BSOD appear after running "D:\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe"

the other drivers seems to be dead or outdated as well(but not causing BSOD), for example, the touchpad driver installed from bootcamp. only hard clicking and moving cursor works, tap to click disabled, submenu two finger tap disabled. I ended up using Touch++, it works just fine.

I don't have a fancy data plan at home, please just give me a working keyboard driver. I just want to make the brightness button guy and friends work, please...

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

yes, it seems that way that BC for my MBA is not receiving any updates anymore, lets assume its dead, so I wont using it anymore.

They are good machines.

does virtual engine facing the same issue or any version of windows iso work?

VMs do not have the same issues as Bootcamp, but performance depends on what application software you want to use. Newer ISOs should work on a VM.

any free best open source virtual engine recommendation for me?

VirtualBox - https://www.virtualbox.org .

good machines, yes indeed, but the apple software department are sitting on their desk playing online games, while the linux enthusiast fasting and voluntarily problemsolving the problems they might not be able to solve with zero payment. agree?

...and macOS Catalina came from the same online-gamers? 🤨 On my 2013rMBP, I still run macOS Sierra. I do not need any later macOS versions. If you need Catalina features, then you will need to update other software/hardware accordingly.

Does this Linux 'enthusiast' have a day-time job, so (s)he does not need to 'fast'? Is such development a 'part-time' activity for such developers? Both business models work and make money for the people in these models and require work. See these two stories at https://www.centos.org/community/stories/ as an example.

apart from those avoidances....something is really really confusing me, its about the Boot Camp driver, my device is mid 2013 and, hmm it came with maverick i guess...It just doesnt made it up to me, why the driver is not working on Windows 10 boot camp, when the 2gb ram dell laptop installed windows 10 just fine with no missing feature. It just has one answer to my eyes here, they had stopped the development of Boot Camp driver for good. Im not making joke here, but blamming on windows 10 iso version is kinda dope. wait a minute, why are you the only one who is responding my post? where's the apple guy? is this a junk yard for people who has their support time expired or someone who had never bought apple device before?

they only changed the BC dialogs and restrictions.

"Make Windows 10 USB..."

"Download Bootcamp support for "windows10"!"

"Install win 10"

so, what they meant here is they only allow us to install win 10 on boot camp, they didnt do anything to the driver(since you said that my mac is mid2013 and the version stayed 6.0 or whatever the version is), what the heck I download it for if its just an old junk which never gets updated? even if its old, somehow it should be working just fine, because its the driver, the wifi just do what the wifi does, the trackpad just do what the trackpad does, and so on. even with version 1.0.0 should be working with some bugs because its the first version, expecting bug on it is no rare thing. the windows iso version has nothing to do, seriously.

You have a Dell PC in your future. 👍. Do you realize that the Mac and Dell have different hardware?

It just has one answer to my eyes here, they had stopped the development of Boot Camp driver for good. Im not making joke here, but blamming on windows 10 iso version is kinda dope.

W10 has had about six releases, as has macOS. Did you read the Microsoft article link?

Apple 'guy'? This is the ASC, not Apple Technical Support.

still, it is made on earth, right? "mac is simple yet powerfull"(said the mac guy) is it simpler than dell, asus, and friends? oh wait, mac component is made of kryptonite, so the windows couldnt communicate with the kryptonian drivers.

That is a question for Microsoft. You may want to ask them, why W10 1511 installs correctly, but anything after W10 1903 and later does not.

stupid boot camp, cant even recognize a windows 10 1511 iso. I dont have time tweaking with things in mac like i did in linux, because mac suppose to be user friendly os with focusing on productivity and opt out many gaming options, then they have to prove it.

Where did you get the 1511 from? If your ISO does not match one of the following, then you will have issues.

openssl md5 Win10_1511_*English_x64.iso
MD5(Win10_1511_1_English_x64.iso)= a4fde74732557d75ffc5354d0271832e
MD5(Win10_1511_2_English_x64.iso)= 3ca03a2c59ae5b58ca965a345d4f2ae1
MD5(Win10_1511_English_x64.iso)= a0d4271b7537732a060909fd39d54829

f**k, after the error, the appstore became unstable, blank screen when opened, and I got it fixed by changing date and region in safe mode, also by running first aid. now appstore up and running again but, F**K, I should download that 6.04GB, F**KING AGAIN? f**k*ng s**t man. Catalina got more Corona Virus than I thought. what a broken OS.

You should check 32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support, before you upgrade to MacOS Catalina.

Four-letter words will not help you in anyway. Remember 'love' is also a 4-letter word.

this does not help, its not just the 32bit compability problem, but now its including the native catalina softwares problem. and it is not mentioned in the update log. the appstore(system update) will have problem, thanks to that, im syuck now. i wish there will be an easy way to make bootable osx flashdrive, at least using DD command or whatever that is BASIC.
