Bootcamp driver installation causes Windows 10 Pro BSOD

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.
