I have an iMac Pro. I just finished deleting and creating a new Windows 10 Pro partition using Bootcamp. After Windows finishes booting and I log in, I am trying to install the Bootcamp drivers. During the first part of the installation, Windows 10 Pro BSODs and reboots. I cannot install the Bootcamp drivers. It keeps BSODing and rebooting. I am stuck at this point.
Well, I am happy to report back that the Bootcamp driver installation was a success. The update that Windows downloaded was a driver update. Apple Inc. - System - 6.1.7800.11 was the driver it installed.
The Bootcamp installer was Version 6.1 (Build Version 7866)
That installed without BSODing. I then rebooted and ran Apple Software Update which downloaded Boot Camp Update version 6.1.13. I didn’t see anything in the update notes that were specific to my machine or issue.
I think the Apple system driver that Windows downloaded resolved the issue.

See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4510977/updating-to-windows-10-version-1903-on-apple-mac-devices-introduced-be for reference. What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number)?
I had to remove the earlier partition completely because of a similar BSOD issue. Windows wouldn't even load. I removed that Boot Camp partition, created a new one with an ISO image I downloaded today.
I can boot into Windows 10 Pro, but during the very first part of the Boot Camp driver installation when the screen flickers and distorts, it BSODs. The status bar on the Boot Camp installer is tiny, not even 1/10th of the way into the installation. I would have to watch it more closely to see which device it is trying to install when it BSODs.
Since it is a 2017 iMac Pro, the Product Version I get is
<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>
<ProductVersion>6.1.7866</ProductVersion>
and the BC GPU drivers are

Are either of these two drivers causing the BSoD?
Also, was the previous installation of W10 installed using an older W10 ISO?
Sorry for the belated reply.
More than likely the graphics drivers are causing the BSOD because the screen flickers and resizes just prior to BSODing.
As I mentioned in the earlier replies, this is a brand new Boot Camp installation using a recent Win 10 version is 20H2 ISO.
Unfortunately, no. I followed Apple's instructions for installing Boot Camp and used the link provided in those instructions to download a Windows 10 iso.
Is the issue a result of Apple not having updating their drivers to support the most recent shipping version of Windows 10? More than likely the previously installed version of Windows on my Boot Camp partition died because I received the Windows 10 20H2 update and it created a fatal conflict with Apple's older and incompatible drivers.
I just booted into Bootcamp after a few weeks and noticed an Apple download that was part of Windows Update. I am in the process of downloading the Bootcamp drivers again to attempt to reinstall them with the hope that the new Apple download resolves the issue.
Windows 10 20H2 runs perfectly fine on this Mac. It's the installation of the Bootcamp drivers that causes the issue. Clearly at this juncture there is an issue with the Apple video driver installation in the Bootcamp installer package. If Apple updates the driver (or in this case if the new download fixes the issue), it should be smooth sailing from here.
You can skip the Windows driver installation and try to run Windows Update. Without knowing which specific driver causes the BSoD, you would need to look at Windows Event Viewer to diagnose this further.
If you post the BSoD, then the stop code can also provide some clues.
Here is the log. Several failures.
Was the previously working installation cerated using an older Windows ISO? Does the BSoD occur when a specific driver is being installed?
The Windows 10 Pro version is 20H2.
Take a look at setupAPI.dev.log. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/setupapi-device-installation-log-entries for reference.
That is the complete log for the Bootcamp installation.
I have an iMac Pro 2017
2.5GHz 14-Core Intel Xeon W
64GB RAM
Radeon Pro Vega 64 16GB
Now sure why the link above is important regarding the HAL drivers. This is a new Win10 Pro installation with the latest Boot Camp drivers. And the Win 10 version is 20H2.
Do you have and older W10 ISO - 1903 or 1909 - that you can try to use for installing W10?
Bootcamp driver installation causes Windows 10 Pro BSOD
