“Apple SPI Device” Bootcamp Drivers Missing

I have a 2016 MacBook Pro Touch Bar. I just did a complete clean install of the latest version of MacOS via the recovery

boot, then opened up bootcamp assistant and installed windows, using the .iso from the link in the Bootcamp.

The built-in touchpad and keyboard was not working during installation, so I used an old usb mouse and the on-screen keyboard to get through the installation. Once Windows booted, I installed the Bootcamp drivers from the window that was open, restarted, and still no touch pad or keyboard. The caps lock light doesn’t illuminate.

Under device manager > other devices I see 5 listings for “Apple SPI Device” with no drivers available.

Bootcamp was running perfectly on this same machine last week, so this is incredibly frustrating!

Any ideas on what I can do to get the touchpad and keyboard working in windows?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3

Alright, after doing some more messing around (and a bunch of trial-and-error) I was able to identify and manually install the keyboard and trackpad drivers!

To manually install the keyboard and trackpad drivers to their respective SPI Device entries in Device Manager, I clicked 'Update Driver'>'Browse my computer...'>'Let me pick from a list...'>'Human Interface Devices'>'Apple Inc.'>Apple SPI Keyboard/Trackpad'

On my 2016 MacBookPro touch bar, this is how the Apple SPI Devices correlated to the drivers, based on the value in Properties>Details>Property: Hardware Ids:

SPI\VID_05ac&PID_027b&MI_01 (SPI Bus Location 1) - Apple SPI Keyboard

SPI\VID_05ac&PID_027b&MI_02 (SPI Bus Location 2) - Apple SPI Trackpad

So, I just need to figure out which drivers go to the remaining 3 'Apple SPI Devices' that have errors under 'Other Devices' - their hardware IDs are:

SPI\VID_05ac&PID_027b&MI_00 (SPI Bus Location 0)

SPI\VID_05ac&PID_027b&MI_03 (SPI Bus Location 3)

SPI\VID_05ac&PID_027b&MI_04 (SPI Bus Location 4)

If we can figure out which drivers go to these remaining devices then everything will be perfectly solved :)

Hi Loner, even after updating to the latest BootCamp I still have those three missing drivers. Did you ever get a chance to check which SPI devices you have like I mentioned here? -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252715811?answerId=255135597022#255135597022

Did Windows Device Manager show any unknown/other devices before your current attempt to re-install Windows?

Not that I know of - everything was working fine before I did the fresh install.

The older windows iso didn’t help, btw.

After the re-installation, do you still have a non-working Keyboard/Touchpad?

Yes. After a clean install they are still not working.

Apple software update has run and brought me up to boot camp 6.1.10, but that hasn’t fixed the issue. Now there are no new Windows or Apple Software updates available

I ran the AppleSOC driver setup and it says it installed correctly. Rebooted with no change unfortunately. I’m not sure how to check if it’s really installed

Can you try to re-install the SPI driver now? You also have issues with the Intel USB3.1 driver, which is very strange.

Also, what were the issues when you used the latest ISO (20H2)?

This leaves the malfunctioning Touch Bar and the SPI devices, correct? I will try and find a 2016 MBP for testing, but it may take a bit.
