iMac 2020 Windows 10 Wi-Fi driver does not work

I have Windows 10 Home installed on an external SSD. I have my Security Boot Settings set up to allow booting from external media, and can boot into Windows 10 just fine. I have downloaded the "Windows Support Software" via Bootcamp Assistant under macOS and have copied those files to my Windows drive and run Bootcamp -> setup.exe under Windows followed by a restart.


However, the Wi-Fi card in the mac is not recognized by Windows, and it would seem the proper driver is not installed by Apple's latest "Windows Support," for the Wi-Fi card. Looking further in Device Manager in Windows 10 reveals that a number of the components do not have proper drivers including what I'm guessing is the Wi-Fi card. Ethernet shows up ok under windows, but at the moment I do not have access to an ethernet connection.


Has anyone else had similar issues? Does anyone have a solution? Thank you!


iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Ok, I'm back with a fix for this. I went to Device Manager, and on each of the components that had the yellow triangle exclamation icon I double clicked it, and hit "Install Driver," then I went to "Browse Disk for Driver" (paraphrase), pointed it to C:/ with "search sub-folders" enabled. Sure enough, windows was able to search the disk, find the appropriate driver and install it. This worked for almost all the components (except Audio!) and Wi-fi is now working.
