Windows Support Drivers fail to install on a brand new MacBook Pro 16

I have installed Windows 10 using BootCamp, but every time I try to install the Windows Support Drivers (from the Windows side) the install either fails or if it doesn't fail then Windows fails and I have to reinstall everything. Windows 10 seems to be running fine without the drivers, obviously some of the hardware devices are not recognized. Some help would be much appreciated.

Based on Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support, there are two variants of the 16-in model - 16,1 and 16,4. Can you check About This Mac -> System Report -> Model Identifier and verify what you have?


The value you show is for a MacBookPro 16,1.

I had to go for the third clean BootCamp Windows install. Here is the deal. Windows 10 has a new update out there, when that update happens the BootCamp Bluetooth drivers fail and Windows 10 dies.

Interesting. Did you install Windows using an older ISO?

I guess this puts the ball in Apple's court for the release of compatible drivers.

Apple is trying to get away from Bootcamp. However, they may show some interest, but it is very rare. A bit surprising that Windows chose to 'break' the existing drivers, which work properly on a prior release of W10.

From AppleNull64.inf....



Your devices are


%SYSTEM_DEVICE% = NullDeviceInstall,PCI\VEN_106B&DEV_1802

%NCM_DEVICE% = NullDeviceInstall,USB\VID_05AC&PID_8233


Also, are you able to repair the Bluetooth driver.


Be aware that there have been known failures of the BT hardware on the 2019 16-in model. See 16-inch MacBook Pro Bluetooth issue - Apple Community for reference.
