My windows became corrupted and I had to do a major repair - it kept all my documents, however, I lost all my applications in the process. I can run Bootcamp with no problem, however, I am missing the Bootcamp Control Panel.
Is there a way to install the control panel through a Windows application installer?

Also, I downloaded the BC drivers again, and I do not get .7748, but .7866.

You should also get .7866. Can you move the current drivers package to a backup directory, and re-download the drivers again?

Download and install Windows support software on your Mac - Apple Support
If the problem still persists after this, please post back with details of the 'major' repair you did.
In the Bootcamp drivers package, there should be a Bootcamp.msi. Can you check?
You can download drivers for your Mac using step 3 under Download the Windows support software section, which looks like....
Once you have downloaded the drivers, you can install individual drivers. If you have installed AMD drivers from bootcampdrivers.com, you can re-install them, if necessary.
You can also extract individual drivers using 7Zip, if you want to.
I did a search in windows and i do not have The AppleControlPanele.exe. I searched online to see if i could just download that program and was able to download and run the Apple Software Update.exe and ran this. I updated all the available files and restarted windows a few time to take effect.
It seems like i am up to date right now, however I still do not have the option to select Restart to MacOS... i assume this is the Apple Control Panele.exe you are referring to?
Can you edit Bootcamp.xml in a Text editor and post the lines which look similar to
<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>
<ProductVersion>6.1.7866</ProductVersion>
<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>
See when are boot camp drivers going to be up… - Apple Community. You need the AppleControlPanel.exe executable. Does this file currently exist on your Windows partition?
Is there a Diamond icon in your System Tray? If yes, instead of choosing Restart, can you select the Bootcamp Control Panel? See Restart your Mac in macOS or Windows - Apple Support for reference.
When I go to the link I do not see a "Windows application" - just the macOS applications that create a flash drive of apps.
Is there an option when you are already logged into Windows desktop and you just download the control panel (a Windows installer app)? O
I am using a version of www.bootcampdrivers.com and do not want to lose this setup with the mac installing all the older graphic drivers.
Thanks for your help,
Brian
Hmmm... I get an installation error: this version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model. I have an iMac Pro and have Windows 10 running.
All I want is the Bootcamp icon on the bottom right taskbar menu (icon) that will let me select "Restart in MacOS"
:)
I do not have the diamond... that is exactly what I am looking for. I have a 3rd party Bluetooth keyboard, and without that, I am unable to use the bootup key command to select Windows or macOS (even after the boot chime). Everything else seems to be working perfectly. Just need that diamond in place.
If I run the Setup file, I get the message:
"This version of Boot Camp is not intended for this computer model."
I have tried this in as Admin access.
If I go to the Driver/Apple and select the BootCamp Windows Installer Package, I get the message:
"This installation requires elevated privileges. Launch the Installer through setup.exe"
I does not give me the access to run as admin .

YES!! You were correct, I re-downloaded and it was .7866.
I just double-clicked the app and it all installed correctly with no issues at all.
Thank you so much for all the help - it is much appreciated!!!!!
